DESCRIPTION

ICFO is offering a postdoctoral position to a well-qualified, highly motivated and dynamic young scientist who wishes to enhance his/her scientific career in a friendly and stimulating environment. The Quantum Photonics with Solids and Atoms group at ICFO, led by Prof. Hugues de Riedmatten, is looking for a postdoctoral fellow to play a key role in setting experiments aiming at demonstrating entanglement between remote solid-state quantum memories.

REQUERIMENTS ANS CONDITIONS

• Candidates must hold an internationally-recognized degree (or evidence of its completion in the nearest future) preferably in experimental quantum optics, ideally involving quantum light-matter interactions.
• The candidate should have a proven track record of high-impact scientific research in experimental quantum optics.
• Positively valued will be experience in quantum light matter interaction, quantum memory and creation and analysis of entangled states.
• Experience in quantum physics is highly desired.
• The selected candidate will strongly benefit from a multidisciplinary environment with other postdocs and PhD students working in quantum technologies at ICFO, and with strong collaborations with our European academic and industrial partners within the Quantum Internet Alliance (http://quantum-internet.team/)
