About this position

The George Washington University, in collaboration with the NIST Quantum Nanophotonics Group, is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow for the NIST Professional Research Experience (PREP) program. This unique opportunity is focused on experimental physics, specifically bridging the gap between static and flying qubits through Quantum Transduction. The research involves working with hybrid systems that combine Semiconductor Quantum Dots (QDs) and Acoustic Resonators, aiming to generate remote entanglement between superconducting qubits.

The successful candidate will be responsible for the full experimental pipeline, including epitaxial growth of InAs/GaAs quantum dots using Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE), constructing GHz frequency acoustic resonators in a cleanroom environment, and performing precision Resonance Fluorescence spectroscopy at cryogenic temperatures. Additional responsibilities include maintaining and operating a Dilution Refrigerator and conducting finite-element simulations of electromechanical devices. Proficiency in MATLAB or Python and statistical optics is required.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Physics, with demonstrated expertise in both MBE growth of compound semiconductors and Quantum Optical Spectroscopy. Experience with finite-element simulation and eligibility for a Department of Commerce background check are also required. The position is fully funded as part of the NIST PREP program, though specific stipend and funding details are not provided in the announcement.

This postdoctoral role offers the opportunity to work at the intersection of quantum nanophotonics, materials science, and experimental physics, contributing to cutting-edge research in quantum information science. Interested candidates should apply via the provided application link and ensure they meet all eligibility requirements.
