The field of quantum technology (QT) aims to exploit the most exotic consequences of quantum mechanics for real-world applications, and promises massive impacts on fields ranging from communication and cryptography to sensing and computing. Importantly, quantum sensors harness the rapid interactions between quantum systems and their environment. They are expected to detect smaller changes, provide better spatial resolution, or measure physical effects that are not accessible with the sensor technology of today. Indeed, this could lead to imaging of interactions between neurons and improve our understanding of the brain, or mapping of magnetic fields for wider subsea and space exploration. However, it has been challenging to find the balance between control of the quantum state, robustness to noise, signal detection and, importantly, scalability. Thus, there is an ongoing race to discover and characterize new quantum compatible platforms that satisfy these fundamental criteria
Requirements:
Master’s degree or equivalent in physics or materials science; Foreign completed degree (M.Sc.-level) corresponding to a minimum of four years in the Norwegian educational system; Solid background in semiconductor physics including experience with semiconductor processing or characterization; Strong data analysis skills, e.g., using Python or MatLab
