PhD-Studentships: Deterministic Entangled Photon Sources built using Semiconductor Quantum Dot Molecules
13.01.2022, Wissenschaftliches Personal
The chair for Semiconductor Nanostructures and Quantum Systems (SNQS) at the Walter Schottky Institut (WSI - Prof. Dr. J. J. Finley) is looking for a doctoral student (m/f/d) to work in the field of deterministic entangled photon sources built using III-V semiconductor quantum dot nanostructures. The position is based at the Walter Schottky Institut, an inter-disciplinary central research institute of the Technical University of Munich. The studentship are for limited period of 3-years with possible extensions. The research is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) within the PhotonQ project (www.photonq.de).

The studentship are for limited period of 3-years with possible extensions. The research is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) within the PhotonQ project (www.photonq.de). The successful candidates will join our close-knit team of researchers working on:
• The growth of semiconductor samples consisting of III-V quantum dot (QD) and QD-molecule (QDM) nanostructures emitting in the telecommunications C and O-bands.
• Numerical photonic design + device fabrication in the WSI shared nanofabrication facili-ties.
• Exploration of optically addressable single and few spin qubits using low-temperature quantum optical methods.
• Development of deterministic sources of quantum light for applications in photon-based quantum information processing.
What we expect from you: Candidates are expected to hold a M.Sc. degree in physics, electrical engineering, materials science or similar with outstanding academic record and should possess exceptional motivation and creativity combined with very good communica-tions skills and proficiency in English (oral and written). A strong background in quantum physics, opto-electronics and photonics of semiconductor-based nanostructures both exper-imentally and theoretically is an advantage. Knowledge of state-of- the-art nanofabrication methods, advanced optical spectroscopy, and numerical photonic simulation is considered an asset.
What we offer you:
• A vibrant research environment that provides you with the opportunity to perform curios-ity driven and applied research as part of an international team.
• High level training in semiconductor growth, nanofabrication, optical spectroscopy, quantum optical and nanoanalytical characterization techniques.
• Research towards PhD qualification at a leading German University.
• A vibrant research environment that includes leading researchers drawn from the DFG Cluster of Excellence Munich Center for Quantum Science and Technology (www.mcqst.de), Munich Quantum Valley (www.munich-quantum-valley.de) as well as in-dustrial and academic collaboration partners at the universities of Stuttgart, Mainz and Würzburg.
Interested applicants should submit their application via email including a one-page letter of motivation, CV including transcript of records and names of 3-referee’s and an electronic copy of your MSc thesis to [email protected]. Please mark your application PhD-QDM Ap-plicant.
Deadline for applications is 28.2.22. Envisaged start dates April – September 2022.
The Technical University of Munich is an equal opportunities employer and applications from persons with a physical disability are welcome.
