Phd Opportunity In Quantum Photonics In The Dolomites

PhD opportunity in Quantum Photonics in the Dolomites The NanoScience Laboratory is mainly leading experimental research in the field of photonics. In particular, a part of the group is pursuing research activities comprising the design of photonic circuits – featuring different levels of integration with control electronics – used to run novel quantum optical experiments on a chip . These include:
Parameterized quantum circuits based on qubits implementing small-scale quantum photonic simulators (e.g., variational quantum eigensolvers for computing molecular ground states). Photonic quantum machine learning circuits (e.g., swap test). Part of these activities are currently run within the European project EPIQUS, whose main goal is developing a fully-integrated electronic-photonic small-scale quantum simulator.
The interested and successful student will start by learning the necessary design and experimental tools, acquiring the capabilities to devise an integrated photonic circuit for quantum applications, as well as the freedom to propose new solutions and ideas to tackle different open problems and advance the field.
The ideal candidate has a good knowledge in the fields of photonics, experimental quantum optics, and quantum information, as well as a master's thesis work carried out in an optical laboratory. Knowledge and competencies with programming languages will be useful, along with good communication skills and team-working capabilities.
Highly motivated and brilliant students are invited to read carefully the admission procedure and apply online (starting from the webpage linked below). Do not hesitate to contact us for further information.
