Loïc Lanco

CNRS and the Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (C2N) in Palaiseau, France, are recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for a project on spin-photon interfaces for quantum information . The position is embedded in the OQuLus consortium , which aims to explore new strategies for optical quantum computing , and in the QDLight joint laboratory between C2N and Quandela. The research focuses on quantum optics , solid-state quantum physics , semiconductor quantum dots , and nanophotonics . The successful candidate will develop experiments using spin-photon interfaces as receivers of incoming photons, work toward deterministic spin-photon and photon-photon gates, improve spin coherence, and demonstrate new forms of entanglement where a spin qubit sequentially entangles multiple photons. The post is based in the GOSS group at C2N, within a collaborative environment that includes experimental, theoretical, and technological expertise. The work involves resonant excitation, coherent optical pumping, cryostats, continuous and pulsed lasers, ultrafast optical modulation, and multi-photon correlation analysis. The team highlights strong links to both fundamental research and industrial innovation through Quandela. Eligibility: applicants should hold a PhD and have experimental experience in quantum technologies, quantum optics, solid-state quantum physics, light-matter interactions, or nanophotonics. Initiative, autonomy, teamwork, and willingness to learn new techniques are emphasized. Instrumentation experience is considered an advantage. Funding: the position is a 24-month full-time CNRS CDD postdoc funded by the OQuLus project under PEPR Technologies Quantiques / France 2030. Gross monthly salary is stated as between 3132.83 € and 4343.20 € depending on experience. Deadline: applications are due on 2026-04-22. Apply via the CNRS job portal and use the contact emails for further information if needed.
