A PhD position on the modeling of spin qubits is available at the laboratory of atomistic simulation of the CEA/Interdisciplinary research institute of Grenoble (IRIG).

The project, supervised by Dr. Yann-Michel Niquet, deals with the modeling of spin shuttling in silicon and germanium spin qubits using analytical and numerical techniques. The PhD is expected to start on september/october 2025.

The goal of the project is to study the spin-phonon coupling between a single molecular magnet and the bending modes of a suspended carbon nanotube. A suspended nanotube is a near ideal environment for the spin of the molecule, and it allows to control its phononic environment, which is expected to result in very long coherence time of the molecular spin. This project relies on the realization of a double quantum dot circuit within the carbon nanotube enhancing the scope of experimental exploration, one example being the ground state cooling of the carbon nanotube vibration.
