PhD Position in Quantum Nanomechanics with Superconducting Circuits

University:

Delft University of Technology (TU Delft)

Country:

Netherlands

Deadline:

2025-07-27

Fields:

Physics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Quantum Engineering, NanotechnologyPhD Position in Quantum Nanomechanics with Superconducting CircuitsDelft University of Technology invites applications for a PhD position focused on exploring the fundamental limits of quantum mechanics through the integration of mechanical resonators and superconducting qubits. This research aims to bridge the gap between quantum phenomena at the nanoscale and classical physics at the macroscopic scale, with a particular emphasis on addressing the challenges of combining gravity and quantum mechanics.The successful candidate will be involved in the design, fabrication, and measurement of nanomechanical resonators coupled to superconducting quantum circuits. The project will utilize advanced cleanroom techniques to construct macroscopic vibrating capacitor plates with exceptional mechanical coherence times, enabling the exploration of quantum superpositions with large mass. The work will involve interfacing mechanical devices with superconducting qubits, employing circuit QED design, and overcoming technical challenges at the intersection of these fields.

Requirements

– A Master’s degree in physics is required.– Alternatively, a Master’s degree in electrical engineering or mechanical engineering may be suitable if accompanied by relevant experience in quantum mechanics or nanomechanics.For further information regarding this vacancy or the selection procedure, please contact Dr. Gary Steele at G.A.Steele@tudelft.nl.More details and application link: https://careers.tudelft.nl/job/Delft-PhD-Position-Quantum-Nanomechanics-with-Superconducting-Circuits-2628-CD/824243602/
