PhD

I am looking for motivated scientists to join my new group at the University of Augsburg, Germany.
You will work on theoretical modeling and simulation of spin qubits in quantum dots.

The PhD candidate will develop QKD hardware for satellite-based QKD, in collaboration with researchers from Toshiba Europe Limited and Heriot Watt University. Particular attention will be given to the development of optimized devices for quantum random number generation and free-space quantum key distribution transmission. The candidate will implement innovative schemes for information encoding at different wavelengths, assemble devices using discrete optics and participate to the development of the control electronics. The optics to decode the encoded pulses may also be developed in the scope of the PhD project.

In this project, the candidate will work on developing new techniques to support phase-based quantum communications and enable their wider adoption. The project will be carried out under the joint supervision of Dr Andrew J. Shields of Toshiba Europe Ltd and Prof Marcos Curty of the University of Vigo, and will primarily be conducted at Toshiba's Research Laboratories in Cambridge, UK. The project will involve experimental work that will be accompanied by theoretical modelling and simulations.

The candidate will receive funding for 3 years and during this period will pursue a doctoral degree that will be awarded by the University of Vigo, Spain. The candidate will join a recently funded MSCA European Doctoral Network (DN) on quantum-safe Internet: QSI.

The Quantum Information group (Department of Computer Science, Paderborn University, Germany) in the Faculty for Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Mathematics is seeking a:

Research Associate (PhD student)
(pay scale E 13 TV-L)
