Postdoctoral Researcher – Quantum Devices and Experiments (NST)

The Center for Nanoscale Materials (CNM) at Argonne National Laboratory is seeking postdoctoral researchers to work on quantum devices and experiments. The project aims to develop superconducting photonic quantum devices for a heterogeneous quantum network, including but not limited to superconducting qubits, microwave-optical quantum transducers, etc.

The postdocs will design the devices, fabricate them in CNM cleanroom, and characterize them in CNM quantum labs. The postdocs will work with other team members and collaborators to perform local and network quantum experiments. 
 
The successful candidate will be part of a highly collaborative team and actively interact with Argonne and UChicago scientists as well as external collaborators.

• Recent or soon-to-be-completed PhD (within the last 0-5 years) in field experimental physics, engineering, or a closely related field

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

• Demonstrated ability to work effectively in a collaborative research environment

• Ability to model Argonne’s core values of impact, safety, respect, integrity, and teamwork

• Experience with device nanofabrication

• Experience in microwave and/or optical device measurement and characterization

• Knowledge of quantum information science

• Design, fabrication, and measurement of superconducting qubits

• Research involving microwave-optical quantum transducers

• Operation of dilution refrigerators and other cryogenic experimental systems
