Offer Description
Institut NÉEL is a CNRS unit (UPR 2940) under agreement with the University Grenoble Alpes. The laboratory is related to the CNRS Physique. It is located in Grenoble, in the heart of a unique scientific, industrial and cultural environment. It is one of the largest French national research institutes for fundamental research in condensed matter physics enriched by interdisciplinary activities at the interfaces with chemistry, engineering and biology. It consists of 450 employees, including 175 researchers.
CNRS is a public, scientific and technological organization.
The core mandate is to identify, to carry out or to have carried out, either alone or with partners, all research that advances science or contributes to the country's economic, social, and cultural progress. Internationally recognized for the excellence of its scientific research, the CNRS is a reference in the world of research and development, as well as for the general public.
The position is part of the Institut Néel component of the Pepr QuMOMI project. The objective is outlined in the PhD thesis topic. The hosting teams at Institut Néel are Quan2m and Quanteca. wich form part of the QUEST department.
The student will work in the This project that aims at developing a microwave-optical quantum interface to be used as a key element in future quantum technologies. Such an interface will for example permit long-distance transfer of microwave quantum information, which is not possible without conversion in the optical domain. The realization of this project will make possible the optically-mediated entanglement of distant microwave qubits (superconducting qubits or spin qubits). This will support the scalability and the connectivity of quantum-computing architectures by opening an interface between microwave qubits and silicon photonics. We aim to realize a device capable to convert signals between microwave and optical domains, but also to generate entanglement between microwave and optical fields. This device consists of three main elements: a microwave superconducting circuit, a GHz-frequency.
The abilities for this PhD are:
- microwave and optical techniques (design and measurements)
- nanofabrication
- cryogenics
