Your Job:
Building on in-house fabricated devices, we have recently demonstrated the ability to shuttle electrons between gate defined quantum dots in Si/SiGe over micron-scale distances using only four different AC-voltages, independent of the distance covered. Theoretical consideration indicate good prospects for maintaining spin-coherence of the shuttled electron, which would make this approach very promising for scaling up semiconductor spin qubit devices. This position focuses on experimentally demonstrating coherent spin shuttling, shuttling-compatible high-fidelity qubit control and further ingredients for a shuttling-based architecture, using devices from academic or industrial fabrication.
Key activities can include:
1. Demonstration and experimental characterization of spin coherence during shuttling
2. Shuttling-compatible demonstration of high-fidelity qubit control
3. Demonstration of T-Junctions (Fig. 1(b)) as step towards qubit grids
4. Advancement of a shuttling based architecture with 2D-connectivity
5. Migration to industrially fabricated devices
Your Profile:
6. Master and PhD in physics or a related field
7. In-depth experience with quantum control experiments on quantum dot qubits
8. Good software development skills
9. Experience with sub-Kelvin cryogenic techniques
10. Strong aptitude for mentoring students
11. Good communication skills
12. A strong drive to conduct ambitious, cutting edge research towards scalable quantum computing
13. A research track record commensurate with our ambition
Our Offer:
We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the chance to actively help in shaping the change! We support you in your work with:
14. A large research campus with green spaces, offering the best possible means for networking with colleagues and pursuing sports alongside work
15. Comprehensive training courses and individual opportunities for personal and professional further development
16. Extensive company health management
17. Ideal conditions for balancing work and private life, as well as a family-friendly corporate policy
18. Flexible work (location) arrangements, remote work
19. Targeted services for international employees, through our International Advisory Service
In addition to exciting tasks and a collaborative working atmosphere at Jülich, we have a lot more to offer:
