Postdocs, Researchers, Engineers: Nanotechnology

Several postdocs, researchers and/or engineers to build a quantum computer at the Chalmers University of Technology in the field of Nanotechnology, Sweden.

RESEARCHER PROFILE: Established Researcher (R3)

DEADLINE: 08/01/2019

REFERENCE NUMBER: 304–1-6971

MARIE CURIE GRANT AGREEMENT NUMBER: 123456

Overview:

The ambitious goals at Chalmers are to build a quantum computer with 100 superconducting qubits, and to apply it to real computational problems that cannot be efficiently solved on a conventional computer. Such computationally hard problems are found, e.g., in optimization, machine learning, quantum chemistry, materials science, etc. Having contributed to starting the research field of superconducting quantum circuits, we are now scaling up our efforts to build a quantum computer.

This project is part of the Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology – WACQT – a 10-year initiative, started in 2018, for the purpose of advancing Swedish academia and industry to the forefront of quantum technology, and to build a Swedish quantum computer.

The department is looking for several POSTDOC and RESEARCH SCIENTIST positions at the Quantum Technology Laboratory. We are also interested in experienced RESEARCH ENGINEERS.

Research Areas:

1. Focus on process technology development and fabrication of a quantum processor.
2. Focus on design and testing of the quantum and control hardware, with the aim to understand and to mitigate the sources of loss and noise that limit the performance of the qubit gate operations.
3. Focus on quantum processor operation. The tune-up and operation of a quantum processor rely on rapid and precise control of the qubits using shaped microwave pulses.

Requirements

1. PhD in Physics, Applied Physics, Nanotechnology, or equivalent
2. Alternatively, BSc/MSc with significant relevant experience
3. Very good verbal and written communication skills in English
4. We value a collaborative attitude and an interest in working both independently and collaboratively in a team environment, sharing best practices and assuming responsibility.
5. Self-motivation, attention to detail, and a problem-solving analytical ability are important personal qualities for these positions.

Deadline: 8 January 2019
