CEA - French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission

Description of the offer

Hole spin cQED has emerged as a new promising platform not only for quantum information processing but also for the study of fundamental light-matter interaction and analog quantum simulation. Our group has recently demonstrated large cooperativities between a single hole spin in a gate-define quantum dot in silicon and a photon in a microwave cavity. Based on this achievement, the project will be on one hand to push the current light-matter interaction strengths to its extreme and study fundamental physics questions (ultra-strong and superstrong coupling regimes for example) and on the other hand to leverage the photon as a quantum bus for long-distant spin-spin entanglement. Spin cQED with multiple spins coupled to the same microwave resonator naturally implements an all-to-all connectivity allowing for the study of various spin and impurity models. In addition, multi-cavity systems will be used to precisely engineer the environment of the spin to control and simulate bosonic baths in order to implement an analog quantum simulator to answer longstanding questions of many-body physics.

Candidate profile

PostDoc candidates are required to have a Ph. D. degree in physics or a related discipline (electrical engineering, nanosciences, ...). The successful candidate will bring a strong background in some of the following areas: quantum optics (semiconductor or atomic), superconducting qubits, mesoscopic physics, device nanofabrication, qubit control techniques, cryogenic experiments, experiment control and data acquisition. Strong python programming knowledge is a clear asset. French language proficiency is not necessary. The candidate will work within a team of researchers and will advise graduate and undergraduate students in their research projects.
