PhD Position in Experimental Quantum Technologies with Quantum Dots: Developing Photonic Cluster State Sources
Contract: Full Time/Fixed Term
The Epitaxy and Physics of Nanostructures (EPN) group at Tyndall National Institution and University College Cork is offering a PhD position in experimental quantum technologies with quantum dots. The focus is on developing a photonic prototype device for multi-entangled photon sources, crucial for Quantum Information Processing.
Key Responsibilities and Research Objectives
Our project addresses the scalability bottleneck in photonic quantum information processing. Current technologies struggle with maintaining coherence and handling parallel calculations. Our approach leverages measurement-based quantum computing with multi-dimensional photonic cluster states.
We aim to develop a prototype source using uniquely scalable, site-controlled, paired semiconductor quantum dots (QDs). These customizable QDs offer precise engineering of molecular states, enabling two-dimensional states on-demand without the need for resource-heavy fusion gates.
1. Conduct extensive spectroscopic studies of QD energetic structures.
2. Establish spin coherence enhancement schemes and implement spin-photon and spin-spin entangling protocols.
The candidate will engage closely with the EPN team, contributing to a collaborative, feedback-driven environment.
Additional Responsibilities
1. Participate in Education and Public Engagement activities.
2. Ensure compliance with Tyndall's Quality Management and Health and Safety standards.
3. Perform additional duties as required within the scope of the post.
Minimum Requirements
1. A first-class honors degree (or equivalent international degree) in physics, electronic engineering, or a related discipline focused on material and quantum properties.
2. Master's degrees in related fields are preferred and will receive preferential consideration.
3. Experience in quantum optics or related research areas.
The annual stipend is €22,000 pa. In addition, yearly University academic fees will be paid by the Tyndall National Institute.
The closing date for applications is 17th January 2025.
Application Instructions
Postgraduate applicants whose first language is not English must provide evidence of English language proficiency as per UCC regulations. Certificates should be valid (usually less than 2 years old) and should be uploaded with their application.
Please note that Garda vetting and/or an international police clearance check may form part of the selection process.
The University, at its discretion, may undertake to make additional appointment(s) from this competition following the conclusion of the process.
Please note that an appointment to posts advertised will be dependent on University approval, together with the terms of the employment control framework for the higher education sector.
Tyndall National Institute does not require the assistance of recruitment agencies.
Tyndall National Institute at University College, Cork is an Equal Opportunities Employer.
Please attach a brief MOTIVATION/COVER LETTER outlining how you meet the ‘Essential Criteria’ for this role.
Would a work permit be required to employ you?
Self-Identification
Any other documents (Proof of English Proficiency, Transcripts of relevant Degree or a Statement of Completion, etc.)
List 3 Employment References; including email address, phone number and detail relationship to candidate.
