Job description

Lawrence Berkeley National Lab's QUANT-NET project has an open position for a Postdoc position to help build small-scale ion-trap quantum processors and connect them to each other for quantum networking experiments between Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and University of California, Berkeley. This effort will require incorporating high-finesse optical-cavity systems into a novel trap technology to establish remote entanglement between the quantum processors. In this exciting role, you will be part of a multi-organization team, and will be researching and developing the latest ion-trap technologies closely with professors, scientists, engineers, and graduate students of the QUANT-NET research team.

QUANT-NET is a five-year DOE funded project that brings together world-leading expertise in quantum technologies from Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, UC Berkeley, Caltech and the University of Innsbruck in order to build a three-node quantum network test-bed in the Berkeley campus, which is connected with an entanglement swapping substrate over optical fiber and managed by a quantum network protocol stack. On top of this entanglement swapping substrate the research team will implement the most basic building blocks of distributed quantum computing and quantum repeater by teleporting a controlled-NOT gate between two far trapped-ion quantum computation nodes. The project also explores heterogeneity and a path towards scalability by researching and developing silicon color center-based quantum technologies that can be used in future quantum repeater platforms.
