[Background of the recruitment and description of the project]
* Background of the recruitment and description of the project
[Research Field]
RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing (RQC) aims to study quantum information theory, develop techniques for quantum control and measurement, build quantum computing hardware and software, and explore novel quantum technologies. We promote the progress of quantum information science and contribute to society through the application of quantum technologies.
Our research group has been studying quantum information processing, quantum state control, and the quantum physical properties (coherence, spin correlations, many-body effects, etc.) involved in these processes, based on the control and detection of electronic coherence in semiconductor quantum dots. In order to promote experimental research on the physics and fundamental technology of spin quantum computation using silicon quantum dots, we are now seeking a new postdoctoral researcher with experience in experimental research on low-dimensional electronic systems, especially electronic states and electrical conduction of quantum dots and quantum information.
