Offer Description
We offer a position at a leading technical university that generates knowledge and skills for a sustainable future. You will have engaged and ambitious colleagues from both industry and academia, along with a creative, international and dynamic working environment.
Project description
The quantum network is anticipated to surpass the classical network in both computing power and security. As a fundamental component of the classical network, the adaptable optical fiber communication network must take on the task of facilitating the transition to these new communication and computing paradigms by linking quantum processors in a networked manner. This project aims to explore the deployment and enhancement of quantum networks, with specific attention to the integration of quantum and classical communication and computing resources.
We are seeking a highly motivated and talented Ph.D. researcher to join our team and contribute to an exciting research project focused on optical quantum network technologies. By leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics, the successful candidate will explore innovative ways to seamlessly integrate quantum computing and quantum communication protocols into classical optical infrastructure. This endeavor holds immense potential to revolutionize information processing and communication paradigms.
Information about the division and the department
The division of Communications, Antennas and Optical Networks conducts cutting edge research covering several aspect of communication infrastructures. The Optical Networks (ON) group performs research in network architecture design and optimization, control and management, datacenter networks, fiber access and mobile transport networks, network sustainability, reliability, security and survivability, and converged fiber-wireless networks.
Major responsibilities
- Conduct literature reviews and background research on optical quantum network
- Design and develop novel architectures for integrating quantum and classical computing and communication resources
- Implement prototype optical quantum network configurations using available hardware and software resources
- Analyze and interpret research results and contribute to academic publications and conference presentations
- Evaluate the performance , scalability and security characteristics of the quantum network.
- Perform research within the framework of the project and present results in major journals and conferences.
Your major responsibilities are to pursue your own doctoral studies. You are expected to develop your own scientific concepts and communicate the results of your research verbally and in writing. The position generally also includes teaching on Chalmers' undergraduate level or performing other duties corresponding to 20 per cent of working hours.
