The Center for Quantum Devices at the Niels Bohr Institute is seeking a postdoctoral fellow to develop quantum devices for analog quantum simulation.
The Project
The position focuses on the experimental implementation of quantum devices and their use for quantum simulation, based on gate-controlled quantum dots and superconducting resonators. Research involves the design of devices, supervision of nanofabrication, low-temperature physics using a cryofree dilution refrigerator, rf and microwave signal generation and detection, data analysis, interaction with theoretical physicists and scientific writing in English.
Applicants should hold a PhD degree in Physics or Applied Physics with relevant experimental experience and a track record within their fields, with experience with spin qubits, quantum-dot fabrication and/or high-frequency measurement considered a plus.
