Post-Doctoral Research Visit F/M Nonreciprocal superconducting circuits and applications for quantum computing
Contract type : Fixed-term contract
Renewable contract : Yes
Level of qualifications required : PhD or equivalent
Fonction : Post-Doctoral Research Visit
Context
As part of an ERC project aimed at developing nonreciprocal superconducting circuits, the objective is to integrate one or more nonreciprocal elements to realize a protected qubit.
Assignment
Under the supervision of Philippe Campagne-Ibarcq, the recruited candidate will be involved in the simulation, design, fabrication, and characterization of Josephson metamaterials, with the goal of realizing an on-chip circulator or gyrator featuring low insertion loss and high isolation. The candidate will also work on integrating this element into a coherent superconducting circuit for the protection of quantum information.
As a postdoctoral researcher, the candidate will also take part in supervising one or more PhD students.
Main activities
