About this position

PhD opportunity in physics, quantum computing, spin qubits, quantum dots, and semiconductor heterostructures at the Grenoble quantum research ecosystem in France.

This experimental doctoral project focuses on a novel route to scalable two-dimensional arrays of hole-spin qubits based on SiGe/Ge/SiGe heterostructures grown on silicon. The work combines advanced nanofabrication, semiconductor device processing, and cryogenic high-frequency measurements down to 10 mK. The project is linked to the QuanG2 PhD Call and benefits from collaboration with CEA-Leti and CNRS-LTM.

The student will investigate quantum-dot devices with penetrating gates designed to reduce the impact of surface charge defects and electrostatic disorder. Possible research outcomes include proof-of-concept quantum-dot arrays, one- and two-qubit gate functionality, and an initial study of crosstalk effects.

Eligibility: applicants must hold a Master’s degree or equivalent, must not already hold a PhD, and must satisfy the MSCA mobility rule. There are no nationality or age restrictions. Required background includes strong solid-state physics and quantum mechanics, experimental skills, Python programming, teamwork, resilience, ownership, and scientific communication.

Funding: the position is described as a fully funded three-year PhD within the Horizon Europe COFUND-supported QuanG2 programme.

Deadline: 7 September 2026 at 12:00 PM (Europe/Paris). Apply via the online application platform using the provided form link.
