Doctoral Position in Neutral-Atom Quantum Computing

The Atom Quantum Processing group at ETH Zurich's Department of Physics invites applications for a doctoral position focused on neutral-atom quantum computing. The successful candidate will help establish a new laboratory dedicated to laser cooling, trapping, and imaging rubidium-85 atoms within optical lattices. Responsibilities include assembling ultra-high vacuum systems, integrating experimental control hardware, and exploring novel collisional quantum processing schemes. Candidates are expected to hold a relevant master's degree and demonstrate a strong drive to construct a quantum computer from the ground up.

• Assemble and expand the Atom Quantum Processing research team in an inclusive and collaborative setting
• Design and build laser systems for cooling, trapping, and imaging rubidium-85 atoms
• Engineer and assemble ultra-high vacuum systems with optical access for quantum processing
• Program and integrate experimental control hardware using ARTIQ for quantum experiments
• Conduct theoretical calculations and numerical simulations investigating collisional quantum information schemes
• Present research findings at scientific conferences and publish in peer-reviewed journals
