PostDoc Position on Experimental Quantum Communication in Berlin, Germany

Join our enthusiastic team and work with us in the framework of the BMBF joint project "QuNET+ICLink". Using cutting-edge equipment, you will work on the implementation of quantum communication protocols using quantum dot single photon sources at 1550 nm in laboratory- and field-experiments. Within the project we will develop a mobile QKD system to be implemented in a 75 km long inter-city link of deployed optical fiber. The project is a close cooperation with the research groups at the University of Würzburg and the Fraunhofer IOF in Jena.

Requirements: Successfully completed university degree (Master, Diploma or equivalent) and ideally a PhD in applied physics or similar. Knowledge and several years of practical experience in quantum optics experiments using solid-state quantum emitters, usually documented by several scientific publications, as well as advanced basic knowledge in the field of quantum information and communication are required. Practical experience in programming with LabView (or similar software) as well as the handling of closed-cycle cryostats and superconducting single photon detectors are desirable.

How to apply: Please send your application with the reference number II-137/24 and the usual documents (single pdf-file, max. 5 MB) by email to Tobias Heindel, ifkp@physik.tu-berlin.de.
