Job Details

Research Associate / Senior Research Associate in Quantum Information with High-Spin Nuclei (516783)

Summary:
Conduct research in the area of silicon-based quantum computing, independently and as part of the team.

The Opportunity
The research group of Professor Andrea Morello has an opportunity for a Research Associate / Senior Research Associate. The group specialises in the development of quantum computing hardware based on the spin of implanted donors, integrated within a silicon nanoelectronic device. Your role will be to conduct research of an experimental and theoretical nature. The research project is aimed at the demonstration of quantum information processing with high-spin nuclei in silicon, and their integration with electron spins in engineered nanostructures. The high-spin nuclei may belong to ion-implanted donors (e.g. Antimony-123) or to isoelectronic atoms (e.g. Germanium-73) and will be addressed by coupling them to electron spins bound to the donor or confined in a quantum dot.

This role will report to Scientia Professor Andrea Morello and has no direct reports.
