• You will become part of our team developing and running a two-node quantum network 
• You will be working closely with the rest of the Quantum Device Lab, a well-established research group with a strong background in quantum computing with superconducting qubits, and be able to both benefit from the expertise developed there and contribute to its progress 
• You will perform collaborative research towards the realization of quantum networking technologies 
• You will get to contribute to diverse aspects of the experimental effort, both technical (design of electronics and mechanical components, building of microwave setups, fabrication of superconducting circuit chips) and conceptual (design of experiments, exploring quantum networking applications, planning of future research strategies)
• In the lab, you will pursue the development of the platform by enabling and implementing quantum networking protocols on a network of multi-qubit superconducting circuit chips

Profile

Your project is embedded into the Swiss Quantum Science and Technology network, the Quantum Center at ETH Zurich, and into the broader context of a diverse set of international research projects. You will have the unique opportunity to contribute to a strong research program conducted at a leading European research institution. ETH Zurich provides a stimulating interdisciplinary research environment in quantum information science. This is combined with some of the world’s best infrastructure for performing top-level research, such as our centers for micro- and nanoscience (FIRST – Center for Micro- and Nanoscience and B & R Nanotechnology Center). The Quantum Device Lab is located in Zurich, an international city with high quality of life, situated in the heart of Europe.

ETH Zurich is a family-friendly employer with excellent working conditions. You can look forward to an exciting working environment, cultural diversity and attractive offers and benefits.
