Two Postdoctoral Positions in Quantum Computation at the University of South Wales

Two postdoctoral positions
The School of Physics and the Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology at the University of New South Wales in Sydney seek two enthusiastic and experienced postdoctoral researchers. Both positions are in the group of Prof. Sven Rogge which was established at the beginning of 2011 and focussed on the qubit coupling with the environment and an optical interface. These two highly interactive research lines aim to understand the physics of the qubit coupling with the environment to understand decoherence pathways and to control it. Recent research highlights include the control over the electron wavefunction [1], coherent coupling between dopants [2], and the optical addressing of a single dopant [3] (for a review see Ref. 4).

One position focuses on the measurement of Si qubit devices and single dopant transport in nano transistors including the electron spin (ref 9455). This involves the development and operation of low noise and high frequency electrical measurements at cryogenic temperatures. The other position focuses on the fabrication of dopant devices with atomic precision with the STM and their study by scanning tunneling spectroscopy (ref 9454). This involves the development and operation of scanning probe transport measurements at cryogenic temperatures. Both positions are embedded within the 'Silicon Qubit Environment and Interface' Program at the UNSW node of the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology.
