About the Company
QuTech is a mission-driven research institute of TU Delft. Together we are working on a radical new technology with world-changing potential.
Job Description
We are looking for PhD students to join the Hermans Lab and take the next step and build a next-generation quantum network. Can we control multiple of these REIs within the same chip and perform two-qubit gates between them? Using such coupled emitters, is it possible to run advanced entanglement protocols that can generate better entangled states faster? This research will open up many new interesting physics experiments, for example, generating spin-photon cluster states.
