Postdoctoral Position in Optically Addressable Molecular Spin Qubits

4 days ago


Glasgow, United Kingdom University of Glasgow Full time

Overview. We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to develop single‑spin entanglement capabilities in molecular systems. By developing novel optical interfaces to spins in co‑ordination complexes, you will realise optically addressable molecular spin qubits with unprecedented capabilities, opening up bottom‑up control of single‑qubit entanglement. Background. This position is part of a collaborative project with the groups of Sam Bayliss at the University of Glasgow and David Awschalom, Danna Freedman, and Giulia Galli at the University of Chicago and MIT. We have demonstrated optically addressable spin qubits in molecules as a powerful platform for combining optical/microwave spin manipulation with the atomistic control afforded by chemistry [e.g., Science, 370, 1309 (2020); Phys. Rev. X 12, 031028 (2022); Phys. Rev. Lett. 133, 120801 (2024); JACS 147, 22911 (2025)], with exciting potential for entanglement generation and quantum sensing. The role. You will deploy advanced spin‑optical measurements (e.g., pulsed optically detected magnetic resonance, resonant‑laser spectroscopy) to measure co‑ordination complexes, and develop methods for single‑qubit entanglement. You will play a leading role in this collaborative project, with opportunities to travel to the USA; have access to state‑of‑the‑art experimental capabilities; and have significant autonomy and opportunities for learning. We particularly welcome applications from candidates from historically under‑represented groups in STEM research, and are committed to fostering an inclusive, supportive, and flexible working environment in all our activities. Please contact Dr. Sam Bayliss (sam.bayliss@glasgow.ac.uk) to discuss further.
