Photonic linear optical networks are a promising platform for quantum information processing. The challenge in universal photonic quantum computing is its scalability. To scale up photonic quantum computing, one will need to achieve the stability of photonic sources, the tunability of linear optical interferometers, and the efficiency of photon number-resolving detectors. All these requirements can be met in integrated photonics.

One post doc position is available in the theoretical quantum optics group at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen. The position will be part of the quantum internet alliance, which is a European project aiming at building large-scale quantum networks. The post doc will participate in designing and modelling the prototype quantum internet that is scheduled to be built at the end of the project. Additionally, the post doc will work on making large entangled photonic states using quantum dots in waveguides.
