Phd-position - Development of Scalable

Vor 4 Tagen


Duesseldorf, Deutschland Forschungszentrum Jülich Vollzeit

The mission of the Institute for Functional Quantum Systems (PGI-13) is to create the technological scientific basis to make quantum computing usable. We focus on developing quantum devices, improving their coherence an materials, and implementing quantum gates, algorithms and architectures. We use superconducting qubis that operate at temperatures close to absolute zero and are controlled by high-speed signals. A key requirement is to preserve high quality quantum operations as we scale. Overcoming these exciting challenges lies at the interface between scientific research an engineering.

**Your Job**:
This position focuses on building, operating, and testing superconducting quantum devices. Your tasks in detail are:

- Design and fabrication of superconducting quantum circuits
- Setting up experimental systems for cryogenic measurements
- Development of a microwave quantum control & readout stack
- Development of Python code to operate quantum systems
- Detailed experimental characterization of superconducting qubits to quantify performance and identify limiting physical mechanisms
- Perform quantum device calibrations, benchmarking, and run quantum algorithms
- Presenting and publishing the research on an international stage

**Your Profile**:

- Master in physics, electrical engineering or a comparable discipline
- Knowledge of solid state physics and/or quantum information
- Experience with programming, preferable with Python
- Fluent speaking and writing skills in English
- Team-oriented and highly motivated to work in an experimental laboratory
- A background in quantum computing as well as experience with cryogenics, signal delivery, microfabrication, materials optimization, and microwave control are highly preferred qualifications

**Our Offer**:
We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the chance to actively help in shaping the change We offer ideal conditions for you to complete your doctoral degree:

- A large research campus with green spaces, offering the best possible means for networking with colleagues and pursuing sports alongside work
- Comprehensive training courses and individual opportunities for personal and professional further development
- Extensive company health management
- Ideal conditions for balancing work and private life, as well as a family-friendly corporate policy
- Flexible work (location) arrangements, e.g. remote work
- 30 days of annual leave and provision for days off between public holidays and weekends (e.g. between Christmas and New Year)
- Targeted services for international employees, e.g. through our International Advisory Service

To apply, please submit a complete CV, letter of motivation, university degree records (both Bachelor's and Master's degree),

    Topological insulators (TIs) in combination with superconductors (SCs) have a great potential for the realization of next-generation quantum bits [1,2]. These quantum bits rely on the manipulation of so-called Majorana excitations, and they are deemed to outperform existing qubits in terms of fault-tolerant computation. Besides conventional TI/SC structures,...
