PhD and Postdoc Positions in Quantum Optics in Denmark

At DTU Physics, four PhD students will join a broad quantum science effort spanning experimental quantum optics, optomechanics, microscopy and theory/software for photonic quantum computing. The positions are based in the Section for Quantum Physics and Information Technology (QPIT) and bigQ – Center for Macroscopic Quantum States , within an international environment that combines advanced quantum-optical laboratories, quantum information theory and large-scale computational research. The adver...

The University of Copenhagen’s Niels Bohr Institute invites applications for two three-year Postdoctoral Researcher positions in experimental nanophotonics and quantum optics in Professor Maiken H. Mikkelsen’s group. The group investigates how light and matter interact when light is confined to nanometre-scale volumes. Its work uses deterministically fabricated plasmonic nanocavities—metallic nanogaps formed around selected emitters—to access exceptionally strong light–matter interactions, inclu...

PhD opportunity in photonic quantum error correction at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen. The project sits within the Novo Nordisk Foundation Quantum Computing Programme (NQCP), an international quantum computing initiative in Copenhagen that works on scalable quantum processor technologies, quantum algorithms and applications, with a long-term goal of fault-tolerant hardware and algorithms for life-science-relevant problems. This PhD focuses on fault-tolerant photonic quantum ...

Technical University of Denmark (DTU) Physics is recruiting four PhD students in the Section for Quantum Physics and Information Technology (QPIT) and bigQ – Center for Macroscopic Quantum States. The positions combine advanced quantum-optical laboratories, quantum information theory and large-scale computational research in an international environment. The projects address frontier problems in quantum physics. In quantum opto-acoustics , the researcher will use cavity-enhanced Brillouin intera...

DTU Electro is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for the EQUAL project, Erbium-based Silicon Quantum Light Sources , focused on theoretical quantum information processing with spin-photon interfaces in silicon. The project develops chip-scale quantum light sources with embedded quantum memories using erbium emitters in ultracompact, tunable silicon nanocavities. Erbium offers semiconductor compatibility, potentially long spin coherence, and emission in the low-loss telecom C-band, while strong P...
