About the position
Postdoc Position in Quantum Control of Semiconductor Qubits
Delft University of Technology (TU Delft)
Join the Veldhorst Group, pioneers in germanium-based quantum computing and simulation.
After a successful first hire for this research topic, we are looking for a second Postdoctoral Researcher to join the Veldhorst Group, who are pioneers in quantum computing and simulation in germanium.
As a Postdoc researcher, you will explore opportunities with semiconductor quantum technology and aim to push the boundaries in quantum control of semiconductor qubits.
The Veldhorst group is a collaborative and supportive research environment where team members work closely together, share expertise, and mentor one another while advancing the field of semiconductor quantum technology.
Near-term projects include multi-qubit operation, entanglement generation between qubit registers, and multi-quantum wells for higher dimensional quantum systems.
You have a PhD degree in physics, applied physics, nanoelectronics or comparable discipline at the time of taking on the position.
Prior experience in solid-state quantum computing, spin qubits, or superconducting qubits would be beneficial but is not required.
Doing a Postdoc at TU Delft requires English proficiency at a certain level to ensure that the candidate is able to communicate and interact well, participate in English-taught Doctoral Education courses, and write scientific articles and a final thesis.
