Postdoc Probing Germanium with Spin Qubit Arrays

Job description

The Scappucci Lab welcomes applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher to address a central challenge of quantum technology with spin qubits: how do the properties of the semiconductor stack affect qubit properties at scale?

Within the Scappucci Lab you will join the QARPET team. QARPET (Qubit-Array Research Platform for Engineering and Testing) is a crossbar-array architecture developed by our group and designed to move from the study of few quantum dots to the statistical characterization and benchmarking of hundreds of qubits in germanium.

Within this project, you will play a leading role in the measurement, characterization, and analysis of germanium hole spin qubits. You will investigate the properties of such devices within novel material stacks and help uncover how material disorder, variability, and imperfections influence key qubit metrics such as coherence, stability, and reproducibility.

You will also have the opportunity to work in a collaborative, international, and interdisciplinary environment, where different perspectives and backgrounds are valued as drivers of scientific innovation.

Requirements

We are seeking not only dedicated future scientists but also individuals who thrive in a team-oriented environment, where passion and commitment go hand in hand.

• PhD in Physics, Electrical Engineering or a closely related field.
• Demonstrated hands-on experience with the measurement and control of solid-state qubits.
• Expertise in cryogenic measurements (dilution refrigerators) and microwave control hardware.
• Strong programming capabilities and large-scale data analysis.

QuTech

QuTech is a mission-driven research institute of TU Delft. Together we are working on a radical new technology with world-changing potential. We are developing scalable prototypes of a quantum computer and a secure quantum internet. To achieve our ambitious goals, we bring scientists, engineers, and industry together in an inspiring environment, with plenty of room for ambition, entrepreneurship, and innovation.

Conditions of employment

• Duration of contract is 2 years (temporary).
• Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch universities.
• An excellent pension scheme via the ABP.
• The possibility to compile an individual employment package every year.
• Discount with health insurers on supplemental packages.
• Flexible working week.
• Every year, 232 leave hours (at 38 hours). You can also sell or buy additional leave hours via the individual choice budget.
• Plenty of opportunities for education, training and courses.
• Partially paid parental leave.
• Attention for working healthy and energetically with the vitality program.
