Offer Description
Quantum technology is a fundamentally new and game changing technology, that can provide disruptive solutions for many unsolved problems. In this project you will develop a scalable trapped-ion quantum sensor based on Ba+ for quantum enhanced sensing and metrology. You will built-up lasers that enable cooling and spectroscopy of a scalable number of ions. You will design and develop optical systems that enable individual addressing of single ions and realise versatile quantum gates. You will implement advanced experimental methods to generate entangled states that enable long coherence times and explore quantum enhanced precision spectroscopy. You will apply the developed techniques to precise magnetic field sensing and frequency metrology.
Requirements
Specific Requirements
- degree in MSc or engineering degree in physics (or something comparable)
- an affinity for experimental physics, with preferably knowledge on atomic physics and quantum optics
- a strong motivation and a good team spirit!
