We are inviting applications to join our experienced team to research and develop quantum optical systems for the quantum internet. The successful applicant will develop and characterise deployable systems to generate single and entangled photons, and interface them with fibre‑optic networks for secure sharing of quantum information. The role will require a fundamental understanding of quantum light sources and light-matter interaction, and will involve specification and integration of the optical, electrical and mechanical components required to create novel experimental demonstrator systems.
Job Responsibility:
Characterization of photon sources
Development of experimental quantum optical applications
Specification of optical, electrical and mechanical components and system assembly
Development of software for experimental controls
Build and maintain high-performance experimental setups
Engagement with academic and industrial partners, and dissemination through scientific publications
Working as part of a team, and with partners in academia and industry
Requirements:
PhD in Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline
Proven hands-on experience in quantum optics or related field
Track record of impactful research
Experience in assembly and control of complex experimental systems
Good knowledge of computer control programming environments, e.g., LabVIEW/Python
Capability of both creative, independent work and working within an interactive team
Desire to acquire new skills and work with new technologies
Nice to have:
Knowledge of electronic circuit design, assembly and testing
Experience with cryogenic or high vacuum technology
Experience with imaging, microscopy, spectroscopy, and fibre optic systems
