Senior researcher
The position will be a senior research physicist performing advanced quantum optical experiments. The
position requires the development of novel quantum optical devices, systems and tools that will be
deployed in challenging field experiments. These devices, systems and tools include single photon
sources and converter devices developed from nanophotonic integrated optics devices based on novel
materials such as silicon carbide; entangled photon pair sources based on a range of quantum
technologies; high-performance single photon detector systems based on cryogenically cooled
superconducting nanowires and more. Field experiments include distributing entanglement over long
distances with high timing precision and high fidelity; implementing various entanglement distribution
schemes including polarization and time-bin; advanced quantum related metrology based on quantum
or single photon processes.
