Job Description:

I am looking for motivated scientists to join my new group at the University of Augsburg, Germany.
You will work on theoretical modeling and simulation of spin qubits in quantum dots.

The PhD candidate will develop QKD hardware for satellite-based QKD, in collaboration with researchers from Toshiba Europe Limited and Heriot Watt University. Particular attention will be given to the development of optimized devices for quantum random number generation and free-space quantum key distribution transmission. The candidate will implement innovative schemes for information encoding at different wavelengths, assemble devices using discrete optics and participate to the development of the control electronics. The optics to decode the encoded pulses may also be developed in the scope of the PhD project.

The Quantum Information group (Department of Computer Science, Paderborn University, Germany) in the Faculty for Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Mathematics is seeking a:

Research Associate (PhD student)
(pay scale E 13 TV-L)

We are offering one PhD position to well-qualified, highly motivated, and dynamic early career researcher who wish to enhance their scientific career in a stimulating top environment.

We are looking for a full-time research assistant on the topic of
Software Development for Quantum Networks. The successful candidate is to work in close collaboration with an experimental group. Tasks include the development and maintenance of a software framework to support the continuous development of the demonstrator.
