Postdoc in Experimental Quantum Optics at Center for Hybrid Quantum Networks, Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen

The position will be part of the experimental quantum photonics group headed by Prof. Peter Lodahl (wwww.quantum-photonics.dk ) within the Center for Hybrid Quantum Networks (Hy-Q, https://hy-q.nbi.ku.dk ).

In the quantum photonics group we specialize in developing photonic nanostructures in order to tailor light-matter interaction. The developed hardware is employed for quantum-information processing applications towards a quantum internet.  

The Center for Hybrid Quantum Networks, Hy-Q is a 6 year major research initiative aiming at creating a quantum internet by exploiting quantum dots and opto-mechanical systems. The center is a collaboration between the quantum photonics group and the groups of Prof. Anders S. Sørensen (www.tqo.dk ) and Prof. Albert Schliesser (www.nbi.dk/~aschlies/research.html ). In total the center employs approximately 50 scientists working on quantum networks.

The position concerns the experimental study of coupled quantum dots in photonic nanostructures as a means for realizing two-dimensional photonic cluster states and a Bell-state analyzer.

Inquiries about the position can be made to Prof. Peter Lodahl, [email protected] , phone: (+45)20565303. 

The position is for 2 years and is open from 01.03.2022or as soon as possible thereafter.
