Researcher in Hybrid Optical Quantum Information Processing

jobbeskrivelse:
The Department of Physics currently has available a position in fundamental quantum optics with focus on the generation of non-classical states of light for quantum information processing including teleportation, quantum gates and error correction. The work will revolve around the hybridization of technologies associated with discrete and continuous variable quantum optics. The work will be conducted at the Section for Quantum Physics and Information Technology (QPIT) within the Department of Physics, DTU. Responsibilities and tasks The successful candidate will be responsible for performing research at the highest international level and teaching within the Department’s course portfolio. The candidate will join a young, dynamic and international research group with a strong vision. The research program includes quantum photonics, micro-photonics, quantum plasmonics, opto-mechanics and solid state optics. More information can be found on the group’s homepage: http://www.quin.fysik.dtu.dk/English.aspx. The applicant must be a highly dedicated and excellent scientist with a reasonable track record and experience in the following areas •Generation of squeezed, entangled and single photon states of light. •Single photon detector technology. •Characterizing quantum states of light with manifestly nonclassical properties. •Quantum Information Processing. Qualifications The successful candidate must have a PhD in physics and must be driven by scientific curiosity as well as being creative and innovative. The candidate must have •large experience with continuous variables quantum optics technology. •experience with interfacing single photon counters and homodyne detection. •the ability to carry out high-level and competitive research on an international level •the dedication and motivation that is required to create a stimulating and creative research environment. The successful candidate must be able to communicate clearly in both oral and written English. Assessment In the assessment of the candidates, consideration will be given to: •scientific production and research potential at international level •innovative skills and the ability to generate new ideas •the ability to communicate at all levels such as the provision of scientific advice to public sector authorities •experience in teaching and education •an all-round experience basis, preferably including international experience •the ability to contribute to development of the department’s internal and external cooperation For the specific position consideration will also be given to: •research potential •publications in high impact factor journals. Salary and terms of employment The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Confederation of Professional Associations. The allowance will be agreed with the relevant union. The position will be available from spring 2015. The position is limited to 2 years and 3 months. Further information Further information can be obtained by contacting Head of QPIT, Professor Ulrik L. Andersen, by e-mail: ulrik.andersen (at) fysik.dtu.dk.
