Postdoc in Experimental Photonic Quantum Computing
We are seeking 1-2 highly motivated and talented postdoctoral researchers to join our team at DTU Physics and contribute to ScaleQ, a new project on scalable photonic quantum computing. ScaleQ will develop bulk and integrated photonic systems for measurement-based Gaussian boson sampling (MBGBS), using squeezed light, multimode entanglement and photonic integrated circuits to build a practical route towards large-scale quantum information processing. The project connects near-term quantum advantage in MBGBS with a longer-term vision for universal photonic quantum computing. The successful candidate will work on chip-compatible or free-space architectures for generating and manipulating continuous-variable cluster states, integrating squeezing and interferometric networks, and combining Gaussian operations with non-Gaussian resources and hybrid detection. The work will build on DTU’s strong activities in measurement-based photonic quantum computing and will be carried out in close collaboration with national and international partners, including the ScaleQ partners working on LNOI photonic integrated circuits and MBGBS applications.
PhD scholarship in Streamlining quantum chip packaging through 3D printed self-alignment structures
Are you interested in quantum chip packaging from both a theoretical and experimental point of view? Then this PhD project offers a unique opportunity. If you have a background in 3D design, microfabrication, and a good understanding of the interplay between materials, topology, and mechanical properties, you might be our ideal PhD candidate. Your work at DTU Nanolab would contribute to developing quick and facile solutions for alignment in photonic integrated circuit (PIC) packaging, potentially revolutionizing PIC packaging and system integration and ultimately contributing to high bandwidth and secure data transmission.
PhD scholarship in fabrication technology for advanced photonic devices
Advanced light-based quantum technologies require advanced photonic components with complexities in techniques, design and material composition. In this PhD project you will combine nanofabrication, material science with principles of integrated photonic circuits to fabricate devices for light-based quantum computing systems controlling photonic and neutral atom qubit operations. The development of this type of technology is crucial for the next generation of quantum operation and has great commercial interest. The skills and experience acquired during the scholarship will make you highly valuable for the semiconductor industry, and especially in the rapidly growing field of quantum technologies and data communication. The project with be closely connected to the qubit pilot lines at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Quantum Computing Project (NQCP) which provides material stacks and design guidance.
PhD in secure multiparty computation in quantum networks
The successful candidate will contribute to developing new cryptographic network protocols based on quantum resources. A particular focus is given to secure multiparty computation protocols where participants are not restricted to classical hardware, but may have (potentially limited) access to quantum resources such as entanglement. The goal is to use this entanglement in combination with other properties of quantum information – e.g. the no-cloning principle – to provide improved privacy in distributed computation settings. As part of the position, you will be expected to collaborate with other researchers from the CLASSIQUE Centre of Excellence at Aalborg University as well as researchers affiliated with the Centre for Quantum Communication Networks and Applications led by Simula UiB in Bergen, Norway. During the PhD studies, you will also be expected to perform teaching tasks – e.g. lecturing or project supervision – at the Department of Mathematical Sciences.
PhD scholarship in fabrication of high quality BTO based low loss waveguides and modulators
This interdisciplinary PhD project will combine the fields of nanofabrication, material science and device technology to explore methods to process the emerging, ultra-efficient and high-bandwidth electro-optical material barium titanate (BTO) to fabricate light modulators of high relevance for photonic quantum computing and adjacent applications.
Associate Professor or DTU Tenure Track Assistant Professor in Optical Quantum Information
DTU Physics invites applications for a faculty position in optical quantum information. The position is open at the level of Associate Professor or Tenure Track Assistant Professor, depending on the qualifications and experience of the applicant. The position is intended to strengthen DTU Physics’ activities in quantum optics, photonic quantum technologies, and quantum information science. We seek an outstanding researcher with the ambition and ability to develop an internationally leading research programme within optical quantum information, and to contribute to the continued development of DTU as a strong hub for quantum science and technology.
Process Engineer at the NNF Quantum Computing Programme
The NQCP Materials team is looking for a versatile process engineer to develop and assist activities in the pursuit of developing and characterising solid state materials for quantum computing. The work may include developing, running and automizing characterisation protocols for our novel materials, with the aim of standardising methods for reliable and precise extraction of relevant metrics.
Where Niels Bohr meets the next big thing
Denmark’s quantum story began over a century ago with Niels Bohr, and we’ve been shaping the future of physics ever since. Today, world-class institutions like the Niels Bohr Institute and Novo Nordisk Foundation’s Quantum Computing Programme are leading cutting-edge research in quantum algorithms, sensing, and simulation.
Backed by a strong national strategy, generous funding, and a culture of open science, Denmark’s quantum ecosystem is made for curious minds and collaborative spirits.
Whether you're into hardcore theory or real-world applications, you'll find a place here to grow, contribute, and connect with colleagues who take the science seriously but not themselves.
