Application process
- Job description Photonic integrated circuits promise advanced functionality for applications such as quantum information processing and precision sensing.
- Thin film lithium niobate (TFLN) is a maturing photonics platform that can integrate frequency conversion, quantum light sources and high speed electro-optic modulation on a single device.
- In the Optical Nanomaterial Group, we specialize in the nanofabrication and optical characterization of TFLN photonic circuits for applications in nonlinear optics, quantum communications and quantum sensing.
- The open positions will work on (1) TFLN circuits for quantum networks and (2) TFLN circuits for quantum sensing – both projects are 3 years long.
- Quantum networks involve entangling distant quantum memories, however many of the leading quantum memories operate at visible wavelengths.
- We aim to use TFLN photonics for sources of non-degenerate entangled photon-pairs with one photon at the quantum memory wavelength and the other photon in the telecom band for long distance transmission over optical fiber.
- This position is part of a Switzerland-wide consortium on quantum networks
- Quantum light can enhance sensing through phase estimation and absorption measurements with undetected photons.
