PhD position in Hybrid Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics with Ge semiconductor QDs and high impedance superconducting resonators

theQuantum Device Labat ETH Zurich & theHybrid Quantum Circuitlab at EPFL

Field:quantum information processing

APPLICATION DEADLINE: 滚动招生,招满即止  

We are excited to announce a unique opportunity for a highly motivated PhD candidate to join our ongoing collaborative research effort in the field of experimental quantum information science, focusing on spin qubits and hybrid superconducting-semiconductor quantum devices. This position is offered in a shared initiative between the laboratories of Prof. Wallraff and Prof. Scarlino, respectively in ETH Zurich and EPFL. The research activity closely aligns with and is supported by the NCCR SPIN (a Swiss National Center of Competence in Research) in Switzerland, focusing on hole spin qubits.

This position is available immediately, with a flexible start date. We will start reviewing applications on June 15, 2024, and continue until the position is filled.

Project background

The successful candidate will join our experimental teams in advancing our capabilities in quantum information processing with quantum dots and hole spin qubits implemented inplanar Germanium. Our project is a collaborative effort between theQuantum Device Labat ETH Zurich and theHybrid Quantum Circuitlab at EPFL. This collaboration is part of theNCCR SPIN, which aims to drive cutting-edge research in the field of quantum technology focusing on hole-spin qubits.

As the successful candidate, you will become an essential member of our experimental teams, contributing to the advancement of quantum information processing using hybrid superconducting-semiconductor quantum devices, particularlyspin qubitsin electrostatically definedquantum dots. Your research will have an emphasis on developing novelreadouttechniques for spin quantum dot-based qubits,hybrid QD-cavity systems, andflip-chip technologyintegration.

The project's primary focus is on exploring fast and high-fidelity readout techniques for quantum dot spin qubits, making use of their coupling tohigh-impedance resonators. Quantum dots and hole spin qubits inplanar Germaniumoffer unique advantages for quantum information processing, including longer coherence times and all electrical-based manipulation. Our groups are also currently developing novel parametric amplifiers which will be an essential component to maximize the readout performance.

Our team has recently achieved significant advancements in coupling the charge and spin degrees of freedom defined in semiconducting quantum dots (QDs) with superconducting resonators and qubits. These developments have enhanced our capabilities of strongly coupling to and reading out spin qubits. Building on this progress, we now aim to leverage our quantum technology expertise and the optimization processes already established at the Quantum Device Lab for superconducting qubits to enhance the readout of spin qubits. To achieve this, we plan to utilize well-designed Purcell filters, strongly coupled readout resonators, and either Josephson-junction-based or kinetic-inductance-based parametric amplifiers. Our goal is to elevate the readout fidelity of spin qubits to above 99% while reducing the integration time to less than 100 ns.

The design, workflow, fabrication processes, and measurement techniques we employ are closely aligned with those used for traditional superconducting qubits. As part of this effort, we are collaborating extensively with the core teams within the NCCR SPIN to drive forward the development of spin qubit-based quantum technology.

Division and Department Information:

This collaborative research project is jointly conducted at ETH Zurich and EPFL, two world-renowned institutions in quantum research which provide a rich scientific environment and unparalleled resources in the field of quantum information science.

Job description

During this project, you will be at the forefront of experimental research, both independently and as a member of our research team. Your responsibilities may encompass:

  • Conceptualizing and designing innovative quantum devices and systems
