About this position

The Center for Quantum Materials and Technology (QT/e) at Eindhoven University of Technology is offering multiple PhD and postdoctoral positions in the field of quantum computing. The research focuses on both experimental and theoretical aspects of hybrid quantum computing, specifically involving the development and implementation of qubit hardware based on Rydberg atoms and the advancement of quantum algorithms and user interfaces.

Experimental positions involve working with neutral-atom quantum computing platforms using rubidium and strontium, with programmable optical tweezer arrays and Rydberg excitation for multi-qubit entanglement. Theoretical positions focus on algorithm and software development for full-stack quantum computers, including quantum error correction and benchmarking. The research is part of the KAT-1 Quantum Delta NL program and involves collaborations with national and international partners, including the ultracold strontium lab at the University of Amsterdam and the Casimir Institute.

PhD candidates should hold a master’s degree in experimental physics (for hardware) or in computer science, physics (preferably AMO), or a related field (for algorithms). Postdoc candidates require a PhD in experimental physics with relevant experience. All applicants should demonstrate a research-oriented attitude, teamwork skills, motivation for teaching, and fluency in English. The positions offer competitive salaries, full employment, and comprehensive benefits, including support for international candidates.

Applications are accepted online via the TU/e vacancy portal. Required documents include a cover letter, CV with publications, and contact information for references. The application window remains open until the positions are filled, with priority given to complete applications. For more information, candidates may contact the project leader, Servaas Kokkelmans, or the project manager, Suzan van Dongen.

Research keywords: quantum computing, qubit hardware, Rydberg atoms, hybrid quantum computing, experimental physics, theoretical physics, algorithm development, user-interface development, optical tweezers, quantum error correction.
