About this position

The George Washington University, in collaboration with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to join the NIST Professional Research Experience (PREP) program. This opportunity is ideal for physicists specializing in quantum information science and quantum networks. The successful candidate will work with the Quantum Information Group (QIG) at NIST, focusing on the Metropolitan Quantum Network Testbed. The research involves developing measurement science for the quantum internet, including the use of photon-number resolving detectors and high-quality single-photon sources to verify and validate entanglement links.

Key responsibilities include achieving sub-10 picosecond synchronization of network nodes, developing methods to verify entanglement links using entangled states of light, in-situ analysis of fiber links (such as polarization, optical path length, loss, and noise), and implementing software agents for the Quantum Network control manager using Python and MATLAB. The position is designed for experimentalists ready to transition quantum networking technologies from the laboratory to metropolitan fiber grids.

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in Physics and have at least two years of relevant experience in quantum information science or quantum networks. Experience with single-photon sources and detectors, as well as a strong aptitude for precision measurements and system automation, is required. Candidates must also be eligible for a Department of Commerce background check for facility access. Familiarity with Python and MATLAB is preferred.

This postdoctoral position offers the chance to work at the forefront of quantum networking research, contributing to the development of new devices and protocols for future quantum networks. The announcement does not specify funding or stipend details. Interested candidates should apply via the provided application link and ensure they meet all eligibility requirements.
