Doctoral student in Physics within Microwave Quantum Optics and Detectors
This specific position focuses on performing quantum optics experiments and aims to build photodetectors for microwave photons and gain access to the statistical properties of the photons. The microwave photons mediate coherent interactions and form the readout method for the main solid-state approaches to quantum technology ranging from superconducting qubits to spin qubits. As a PhD student in this position, you will get hands-on experience in quantum device fabrication in Lund Nano Lab, perform measurements on them, and develop physics understanding of their operation. You will work as an important member of our research team in collaboration with other research groups in Lund and other high-ranking international universities. The work provides a good mix of fundamental physics concepts and technology-oriented mindset to build new sensors.
Application deadline: 9th April 2024

Doctoral student focusing on Nanotechnology for AI
We are now opening up to two doctoral student positions on the topic of “Nanotechnology for AI”.
The focus of this project is nanoelectronics for artificial intelligence (AI). AI is a key technology for the transition to a carbon-neutral society but relies on powerful computing hardware which high energy consumption is itself a difficult obstacle on the road to sustainable AI. Inspired by the brain, neuromorphic hardware promises up to 1,000 times more energy-efficient computing by interweaving computation with data storage. The key to this breakthrough technology is new types of nanoelectronic memory devices that still need a lot of research.
