Research Associate in Quantum Networks

2 weeks ago


Cambridge, United Kingdom University of Cambridge Full time

Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 2 years in the first instance.

A position exists for Research Associate/Research Assistant in Quantum Networks.

The aim of the role is to develop technologies for an efficient optical interface to a nuclear-spin memory in semiconductor quantum dots, and perform proof-of-concept experiments on storage of spin-photon entanglement. An interface between a stationary matter and a flying optical qubit is a fundamental building block of the inter-connects that will make quantum technologies useful on a large scale. This project will leverage and combine recent developments in spin coherence and optical collection efficiency with single quantum dots to make such leap forward possible. This is an ambitious research program, with a strong interdisciplinary nature, across quantum optics and semiconductor spin physics.

The post holder will be located at the Department of Physics Cavendish Laboratory JJ Thomson Avenue Cambridge CB3 0HE, UK.

Salary Ranges: Research Assistant (pre-PhD) £28,929 to £33,348, Research Associate (post-PhD): £35,308 to £43,155.

The University has a responsibility to ensure that all employees are eligible to live and work in the UK.
