Quantum Photonics with Solids and Atoms Group: Post-doctoral

ICFO is offering a postdoctoral position to a well-qualified, highly motivated and dynamic young scientist who wishes to enhance his/her scientific career in a friendly and stimulating environment.

The successful candidate will be joining the Quantum Photonics with Solids and Atoms group led by Prof. Dr. Hugues de Riedmatten. The group has experience in quantum technologies for quantum networks, including quantum memories, quantum light sources, quantum frequency conversion and quantum processing nodes. The current positions will be within a project aiming at developing quantum repeaters using solid-state quantum memories and entanglement sources. In particular, the candidates will work to develop the quantum technologies for the demonstration of quantum repeater links, including quantum memories and quantum light sources.

The successful candidate will strongly benefit from a multidisciplinary environment with other postdocs and PhD students working in quantum technologies at ICFO and other centres in the Barcelona area, and with strong collaborations with our Spanish partners within the Complementary Plan of Quantum Communications (https://www.quantumcommunicationsspain.eu/en).

This project is funded by MCIN with funding from European Union NextGenerationEU (PRTR-C17.I1) and by Generalitat de Catalunya.

Suitable candidates are requested to submit:

• Presentation letter with a declaration of interest,
• Curriculum Vitae, including contact details,
• The contact e-mail of two potential referees.

Candidates will be assessed as they apply and the call will remain open until the suitable candidate is identified.

Candidates may contact jobs@icfo.eu for formal enquiries regarding the application, as well as address scientific enquiries to hugues.deriedmatten@icfo.eu.
