About the Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) The Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) in Singapore brings together physicists, computer scientists and engineers to do basic research on quantum physics and to build devices based on quantum phenomena. Experts in this new discipline of quantum technologies are applying their discoveries in computing, communications, and sensing. CQT is hosted by the National University of Singapore. The Centre also has staff at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, and the Singapore University of Technology and Design. With some 200 staff and students, it offers a friendly and international work environment Learn more about CQT at https://www.cqt.sg/ Job Description The Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT), National University of Singapore is looking for researchers and engineers to develop next generation quantum computers based on trapped ions. There are multiple positions available at different levels with a diverse set of expertise. This program is funded under the National Quantum Processor Initiative, a flagship program under the National Quantum Office Singapore. The aim of the program is to develop a full stack quantum processor based on Yb-Ba ions. This program brings together the unique capabilities of the existing ion trap groups in CQT expertizing on these two-ion species to explore scalability of the system. The Centre for Quantum Technologies is a pioneering quantum centre in the world offering a diverse research culture at the intersection of three different fields namely, theoretical, experimental Physics and computer science. We offer competitive salary and enriching intellectual experience in a city state known for its forward outlook. This program also allows strong collaboration with leading academic and industrial groups within and outside the country. The candidate will be directly contributing to the development of the quantum processor (hardware) on the day-to-day basis and will be reporting to the principal investigator. The ideal candidate is expected to have experience in delivering complex time-bound projects in a fast-competing environment. The more experienced candidates will play the role of leads and will be responsible to deliver on the team's deliverables within schedule and report to the PI. Their responsibility will lie in their respective team's job scope only but they are encouraged to discuss and develop new ideas with other groups within the project. The junior researchers are expected to be well-versed with atomic physics experiments in general and ion/atom trap quantum computers in particular. For more details please contact: Manas Mukherjee at cqtmukhe@nus.edu.sg Job Requirements Qualification : We are looking for energetic, innovative and hands-on persons with a PhD in Physics/Electrical engineering. Experience and preferences : The candidates should have completed a PhD in atomic, molecular and optical physics or have post-PhD research experience between 1-3 years in this field. She/he should be a problem solver with a strong interest in the engineering aspect of the experiment.
