Offer Description
Postdoc positions in Experimental Quantum Engineering group
The Experimental Quantum Engineering (EQE) group seeks highly motivated postdoctoral researchers to start a project aiming at building a new architecture for quantum computation and simulation with dual-type dual-element arrays of neutral atoms and performing spectroscopy measurements of interspecies interactions between Rydberg atoms. The EQE group is led by Prof. Wenchao Xu.
Project background
Arrays of individual atoms trapped in optical tweezers are promising for quantum simulation and quantum information processing. The new apparatus in our group combines arrays of individual atoms and arrays of small atomic ensembles, with the individual atoms for encoding qubits/spins and atomic ensembles for ancillary operations. This project is devoted to implementing new schemes for scalable local qubit operations, fast and non-demolish measurements, and a significantly higher experimental repetition rate. These developed schemes enable the study of out-of-equilibrium quantum dynamics, quantum information processing protocols with mid-circuit measurement and feedback, and eventually quantum error correction.
Job description
Your tasks include:
- UV light generation (300-400nm) and frequency stabilization
- Spectroscopy measurement and data analysis
- Optical system design (atom array generation and imaging)
Your profile
- PhD degree in physics or relevant fields
- Prior experience in spectroscopy measurement, and/or UV light is preferred
- Enthusiastic about starting a new lab from scratch
- Good communication skills in English (German is a plus)
- Good programming skills
