Quantum computation is the man on the moon goal of the current second quantum revolution. How will we get there? Join us in our mission to turn everyday silicon into a quantum computing wonder material! To make this dream come true, we have partnered with the leading semiconductor industry aiming at high-volume manufacturing of Si qubits. The role of the post-doc in this project is to study the mobility-limiting mechanisms, valley splitting, and spin-orbit interaction in strained silicon/germanium quantum wells. This work contributes to enhancing Si qubit performance and sets the groundwork for developing Ge spin qubits.

A PhD degree in Physics is required to apply for this position. Experience with quantum transport at cryogenic temperatures is essential, experience in micro/nanofabrication is desirable. Applications should contain a single .zip file (yourname.zip) with the following documents (all as PDFs): CV (3 page max), motivation letter (1 page), a list of potential references.

Fixed-term contract: 2 years.

The TU Delft offers a customisable compensation package, a discount for health insurance and sport memberships, and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work schedules can be arranged. An International Children’s Centre offers child care and an international primary school. Dual Career Services offers support to accompanying partners. Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities.
