With over two decades of research, innovation and development, Toshiba is at the forefront of quantum science and technology. In quantum communications, Toshiba commercial quantum key distribution systems offer the highest key rates on the market and play a major role in the worldwide deployment of secure quantum networks. Photonic integrated circuits are set to revolutionize the architecture and capabilities of such systems and enable large-scale networks by integrating the quantum optical hardware onto miniature photonic chips. We are currently inviting applications for a Research Scientist to join our quantum photonic integration programme. The successful candidate will take a leading role in the development of novel photonic integrated chips with cutting-edge performance for quantum key distribution, quantum networks and wider quantum applications. The devices will be validated in state-of-the-art experiments and integrated into research prototypes under realistic settings. Research outcomes will be published in leading journals and presented at renowned international conferences.
