Open position MEP: Design and analysis of superconducting bits and sensors

Quantum Technology is a key emerging technology. TU Delft is at the forefront of research and development in quantum technology. QuTech, part of TU Delft, is an organization with a depth and breadth of multidisciplinary knowledge where the focus is on smart solutions to complex issues in quantum information platforms. Twenty years ago, the quantum world was limited to the realm of atoms. Since then, quantum behavior has been achieved with solid-state systems at the micro- and millimeter scale. Several solid-state systems show promise of quantum processors with hundreds or more qubits, and quantum sensors with unprecedented sensitivity have already been commercialized.

Objective: The purpose of this project is to enhance the performance of superconducting quantum bits or superconducting quantum sensors, which are crucial for superconducting quantum processors and quantum sensing, respectively. Within this project, the primary focus will be on the design, and microwave and electromagnetic analysis of SQUID (Superconducting Quantum Interference Device)-based components. Throughout this project, you will work to develop a deep understanding of the dielectric loss mechanisms that limit the lifetime and explore computational approaches for accurately adjusting various parameters. Ultimately depending on yourpersonal interest you will either design qubit geometries with a high-quality factor or SQUID-based sensor components for ultra-sensitive electromagnetic detection.

Prior knowledge/Interest: Knowledge of electromagnetics, microwave theory, and experience with commercial EM solvers (e.g., CST, HFSS) is advantageous but not a requirement

Start: With immediate effect.

We are looking forward to your application, which should be sent to Nadia Haider s.n.haider@tudelft.nl
