About this position
PhD opportunity in Semiconductor Quantum Computing at QuTech, TU Delft (Delft University of Technology), Netherlands.
The Veldhorst group is recruiting a second PhD researcher to work on semiconductor quantum technology, with a focus on quantum control in semiconductor qubits. The research environment is embedded in QuTech, where the team develops scalable prototypes of a quantum computer and a quantum internet.
Research themes include: novel semiconductor qubits with improved performance, scaling semiconductor qubit systems, and multi quantum well structures for higher-dimensional quantum systems. The group has a strong track record in germanium-based quantum computing, including single-hole qubits, two-qubit logic, and remote entanglement experiments.
Eligibility highlights: a master’s degree in physics, applied physics, nanoelectronics, or a comparable discipline is required by the start date. Prior experience in solid-state quantum computing, including spin or superconducting qubits, is welcome but not mandatory. English proficiency is required for doctoral studies at TU Delft.
Funding and employment: this is a 4-year PhD employment position, structured as an initial 1.5-year contract followed by a 2.5-year extension pending a positive progress assessment. The salary ranges from €3204 to €4051 gross per month, plus 8% holiday allowance and an 8.3% end-of-year bonus. TU Delft also offers health insurance discounts, a monthly work costs contribution, flexible work arrangements, and relocation support.
