We invite applications for several PhD positions in experimental quantum computing with superconducting circuits. You will work in the stimulating research environment of the Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology (WACQT), a 12-year initiative started in 2018 with the purpose of advancing Swedish academia and industry to the forefront of quantum technology. The core project of the centre is to build a quantum computer based on superconducting circuits.
You will be part of the Quantum Technology Laboratory (QTL) within the department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience (MC2), working in a large team of PhDs, postdocs and researchers. MC2 hosts a state-of-the-art nanofabrication facility and as a member of QTL you will have access to measurement laboratories for superconducting quantum devices.
We are seeking PhD students to work on building the next generation of large-scale quantum processors based on superconducting circuits. To achieve this ambitiuous goal, we have a variety of projects related to:
• Readout optimization for large-scale quantum processors
• Simulation, design and characterization of traveling-wave parametric amplifiers
• Development and optimization of nano-fabrication recipes for superconducting devices
Major responsibilities
Your major responsibilities are to pursue your own doctoral studies. You are expected to develop your own scientific concepts and communicate the results of your research verbally and in writing. The position generally also includes teaching on Chalmers' undergraduate level or performing other duties corresponding to 20 per cent of working hours.
About you
To qualify as a PhD student, you must have a master's level degree corresponding to at least 240 higher education credits in Physics, Applied Physics, Nanotechnology, or equivalent, obtained no more than two years prior to the application deadline (according to the current agreement with the Swedish Agency for Government Employers).
The ideal candidate has expertise in some of the following: design and fabrication of superconducting circuits, experimental quantum computing, microwave quantum optics, or related fields in experimental physics.
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 detail, and possess a problem-solving analytical ability. You are willing to help supervise bachelor and master students
The position requires sound verbal and written communication skills in English. If Swedish is not your native language, Chalmers offers Swedish courses.
Contract terms
Full-time temporary employment. The position is limited to a maximum of five years.
