Research Assistant / PhD student

Research Assistant / PhD student (f/m/d)

The institute of Applied Quantum Technologies (Prof. Dr.-Ing. Roland Nagy) at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) is looking for a highly motivated research assistant / PhD student (f/m/d).

Our research includes novel quantum technologies such as quantum sensing, quantum computing, quantum memory nodes, and integrated quantum circuits. Solid-state qubits, so-called color centers, in diamond and silicon carbide (SiC) provide very good properties to be used as basic platform for quantum applications. These color centers are optically accessible and can be manipulated by microwaves enabling various uses in future quantum technologies. Thus, based on color centers our group develops new quantum devices by conducting different quantum experiments.

Responsibilities

• Independent research activity in the field of applied quantum technologies
• Self-reliant project planning and execution
• Software development for quantum experiments and applications
• Collection and analysis of experimental data

Requirements

• University degree (M.Sc.) in physics, electrical engineering, material science, or a comparable course of study
• Knowledge of quantum mechanics
• Experience in the field of optics is advantageous
• Independent and self-reliant working style
• Strong communication skills and ability to work in a team
• Good level of English
• Fluency in German advantageous
• Good programming skills (Python)

Employment

• Starting from 01.04.2024
• Temporary according to TV-L E13 (100%)
