The Center for Nanoscale Materials (CNM) at Argonne National Laboratory is seeking postdoctoral researchers to work on the development of single electron on solid neon qubits. The project aims to substantially advance this new qubit platform by realizing high-fidelity two-qubit gates. The postdoc will design single electron qubit devices, fabricate them in CNM cleanroom, and characterize them in CNM quantum labs. The postdoc will work with other team members and collaborators to study quantum physics and perform local quantum experiments.
The successful candidate will be part of a highly collaborative team and actively interact with CNM and Argonne scientists as well as external collaborators.
Position Requirements
Recent or soon-to-be-completed PhD (within the last 0-5 years) in field of experimental physics, engineering, or a closely related field
Experience in experimental physics/engineering, nanofabrication, quantum information science, and/or microwave and superconducting device characterization and measurement
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
Preferred Qualifications
Experience in superconducting devices, nanofabrication, and low-temperature experiments
Experience with electron qubit design, fabrication, and measurement
Experience with superconducting qubits
Experience with dilution refrigerator operation and cryogenic experiments
