PhD in Experimental Quantum Computation of Superconducting Circuits Program Description We invite applications from PhD students interested in pursuing research in experimental quantum computation of superconducting circuits. You will work in the exciting research environment of the Wallenberg Center for Quantum Technologies (WACQT, http://wacqt.se). The core project of the center is to build quantum computers based on superconducting circuits. You will be part of the Quantum Computing Group in the Quantum Technology Laboratory (QTL) of the Microtechnology and Nanoscience (MC2) department, working in a large team of PhDs, postdocs and researchers. About the research We are recruiting PhD students to work on the next generation of quantum processors based on superconducting circuits. In order to achieve this ambitious goal, we carry out several projects related to the development and optimization of nanofabrication processes for superconducting devicesAutomated debugging and calibration of quantum processorsDesign and simulation of quantum processorsOptimized control techniques for high-fidelity quantum bit operationsImplementation and benchmarking of quantum algorithmsAbout youYou have a relevant Masters Degree with a minimum of 240 Higher Education credits (Physics, Nanotechnology, Engineering, Computer Science or equivalent) earned within two years prior to the application deadline. Ideal candidates should have expertise in: design and fabrication of superconducting circuits, experimental quantum computing, quantum optics, microwave engineering, or a related area of experimental physics. Good oral and written communication skills in EnglishYou are interested in working in the field of quantum technology, academia or industryCollaborative and interested in working and collaborating independently in a team environment, sharing best practices and taking responsibility. Self-motivated; detail-oriented with analytical problem-solving skills. Willingness to help mentor undergraduate and master’s students Ideal candidate has a passion for learning and a desire to work in a multidisciplinary, open-minded team.
