About this position
These PhD positions are in the Taminiau Lab at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), working within the QuTech quantum technology environment. The project focuses on quantum networks based on spin defects in silicon carbide (SiC), with the goal of developing scalable building blocks for future quantum computation, simulation, and communication.
As a PhD researcher, you will help investigate and develop SiC devices that support fast optical entanglement links and high-fidelity spin-qubit control. The work combines design and fabrication of nano-photonic SiC devices with quantum optics experiments, bringing together device engineering and experimental quantum physics.
The position is embedded in an international and collaborative lab where researchers from different backgrounds work closely together, exchange ideas openly, and support one another’s development. The broader TU Delft and QuTech setting offers a strong research ecosystem focused on scalable quantum technologies and world-changing prototypes for a quantum computer and quantum internet.
The opening is ideal for candidates interested in the interface of quantum devices, nanofabrication, and experimental quantum information science, within a team pursuing small but scalable quantum network demonstrations.

What's required
Applicants should have a MSc in science in (applied) physics, quantum technologies, material science, or a related field. A strong motivation to work on nano fabrication and characterization of quantum devices for quantum networks is required. Experience in device fabrication, nanophotonics, and/or experimental quantum physics (for example with spins or superconducting systems) is appreciated but not essential. English proficiency is required at a level sufficient to communicate effectively, participate in doctoral education courses, and write scientific articles and a final thesis.
