About this position
Join the Veldhorst Group at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) to work on quantum control of semiconductor qubits in germanium-based systems. The group has already demonstrated landmark results including the first single-hole qubit, two-qubit logic in germanium, and quantum algorithms on a four-qubit quantum processor. This postdoctoral project invites you to build on that foundation and push the boundaries of control, operation, and scalability in semiconductor quantum technology.
You will explore near-term directions in the Veldhorst Group’s research on quantum computing and simulation. The advertised work highlights multi-qubit operation, entanglement generation between qubit registers, and multi-quantum wells for higher-dimensional quantum systems. The emphasis is on advancing semiconductor qubit performance and control within a strong experimental research programme.
The position is embedded in the collaborative environment of QuTech, where the mission is to develop scalable prototypes of a quantum computer and a quantum internet. The advert presents a research setting focused on world-class quantum science and technology, with close teamwork, shared expertise, and mutual mentoring across the group and wider ecosystem.
This postdoctoral opening is hosted by TU Delft, an international technical university with strong research activity in areas including digitalisation, artificial intelligence, and smart mobility. The post ties into TU Delft’s broader quantum and engineering environment while specifically centring on the Veldhorst Group’s germanium quantum platform.
