Postdoc in Experimental Quantum Optics at Center for Hybrid Quantum Networks
The position will be part of the experimental quantum photonics group headed by Prof. Peter Lodahl (wwww.quantum-photonics.dk) within the Center for Hybrid Quantum Networks (Hy-Q, https://hy-q.nbi.ku.dk).
In the quantum photonics group we specialize in developing photonic nanostructures in order to tailor light-matter interaction. The developed hardware is employed for quantum-information processing applications towards a quantum internet.
The Center for Hybrid Quantum Networks, Hy-Q is a 6 year major research initiative aiming at creating a quantum internet by exploiting quantum dots and opto-mechanical systems. The center is a collaboration between the quantum photonics group and the groups of Prof. Anders S. Sørensen (www.tqo.dk) and Prof. Albert Schliesser (www.nbi.dk/~aschlies/research.html). In total the center employs approximately 50 scientists working on quantum networks.
The position concerns the experimental study of quantum nonlinear optics with quantum dots in photonic nanostructures and applications in photonic quantum simulators.
Inquiries about the position can be made to Prof. Peter Lodahl, lodahl@nbi.dk, phone: (+45)20565303.
The position is for 2 years and is open from 1 September 2023 or as soon as possible thereafter.
