PhD position on superconducting quantum computer technology

at  Chalmers

We invite applications for two PhD positions in experimental quantum computing with superconducting circuits. You will be a part of a stimulating research environment at the Quantum Technology Laboratory (QT) within the Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience (MC2), working in a large team of PhD students, postdocs and researchers. MC2 hosts a state-of-the-art nanofabrication facility. Additionally, you will have access to laboratories for superconducting quantum device measurements.

QUALIFICATIONS

• You have a master’s deegree in physics, applied physics, nanotechnology, or equivalent, ideally obtained no more than two years prior to the application deadline (according to the current agreement with the Swedish Agency for Government Employers).
• You have expertise in some of the following: design and fabrication of superconducting circuits, experimental quantum computing, microwave quantum optics, or related fields in experimental physics.
• Your verbal and written communication skills in English are good.
• You are motivated for a career in quantum technology, in academia or at an institute or a company.
• You have a collaborative attitude and an interest in working both independently and collaboratively in a team environment, sharing best practices and assuming responsibility.
• You are self-motivated; you pay attention to details, and possess a problem-solving analytical ability. You are willing to help supervise bachelor and master students.

We are seeking PhD students to work on building the next generation of quantum processors based on superconducting circuits. To achieve this goal, we have a variety of projects related to:

• Simulation, design, fabrication and characterization of traveling-wave parametric amplifiers
• Optimization of the superconducting device design and implementation by modeling, fabrication-process development, and characterization
