Job Description
The Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT), National University of Singapore is looking for researchers and engineers to develop next generation quantum computers based on trapped ions. There are multiple positions available at different levels with a diverse set of expertise. This program is funded under the National Quantum Processor Initiative, a flagship program under the National Quantum Office Singapore. The aim of the program is to develop a full stack quantum processor based on Yb-Ba ions. This program brings together the unique capabilities of the existing ion trap groups in CQT expertising on these two-ion species to explore scalability of the system.
The Centre for Quantum Technologies is a pioneering quantum centre in the world offering a diverse research culture at the intersection of three different fields namely, theoretical, experimental Physics and computer science. We offer competitive salary and enriching intellectual experience in a city state known for its forward outlook. This program also allows strong collaboration with leading academic and industrial groups within and outside the country.
The Senior Physics lead will be directly responsible to oversee the development of the quantum processor on the day-to-day basis and will be reporting to the principal investigator. The ideal candidate is expected to have experience in delivering complex time-bound projects in a fast-competing environment.
Job Requirements
We are looking for energetic, innovative and hands-on persons with a PhD in Physics/Electrical engineering. The candidate should have completed a PhD in atomic, molecular and optical physics or have post-PhD research experience between 1-3 years in this field. She/he should be a problem solver with a strong interest in the engineering aspect of the experiment.
