Ihre Aufgaben

We are seeking highly motivated PhD candidates to join a rapidly growing research team, led by Christopher Eichler, which conducts state-of-the-art experimental research in quantum computing, quantum information science and quantum optics with superconducting circuits.

As a successful candidate, you will get the unique opportunity to take part in setting up a state-of-the-art quantum-computing laboratory and to perform collaborative research contributing to the grand goal of building universal quantum computers. Based on your interests and skills you will engage with a set of specific research topics chosen from the following areas:

  • Design and fabrication of next-generation multi-qubit quantum processors enabling hardware-efficient quantum error correction,
  • Exploration of Novel circuit QED components enabling fast and high-fidelity gates and measurements,
  • Development, fabrication and characterization of 3D-integrated multi-chip modules,
  • Research on elements for quantum communication and modular quantum computing,
  • Improvements to qubit coherence enabled by new materials, processes, and chip designs,
  • System integration and (real-time) system control enabled by machine learning,
  • Tune-up, operation and (algorithmic) benchmarking of quantum computing hardware.

Your research will benefit from a stimulating academic environment offered by FAU and will be embedded in a rapidly evolving quantum ecosystem in Bavaria. You will have opportunities to interact with partners and collaborators in academia and industry as part of national and state-level initiatives such as the Munich Quantum Valley.

Ihr Profil

Notwendige Qualifikationen:

Your profile and qualification:
