Senior Quantum Optics / Photonics Engineer | Quantum Computing

As a member of the Hardware R&D; Team, you will collaborate with our team to develop nonlinear optical devices on integrated nanophotonic platforms. You will design, build, and operate complex optical experiments, utilizing rigorous data analysis to characterize and optimize scalable quantum light sources for the world's first photonic quantum computers. What you'll be doing: Build and operate advanced optical experiments to generate and measure

squeezed light Develop and benchmark next-generation nonlinear photonic devices Characterise

photonic integrated circuits (PICs)

with thermal and electro-optic components Analyse experimental data and compare results against simulations and analytical models Develop test procedures, technical documentation and automated measurement workflows What they're looking for: PhD in

Quantum Optics, Photonics, AMO, Electrical Engineering





or a related field Strong knowledge of

squeezed light, photon generation and single-photon detection Experience with

homodyne/heterodyne detection

and shot-noise-limited measurements Experience with laser/resonator locking techniques such as

Pound-Drever-Hall or dither locking Robust hands-on experience with optical/RF laboratory equipment Python experience for

data acquisition, analysis and automation Ability to develop analytical and numerical models of physical systems Nice to have: Microring resonators, frequency combs or soliton generation Pulse shaping, IQ/amplitude modulation and arbitrary waveform generators Automated instrument control and hardware interfacing Laser noise characterisation, including phase/frequency noise and RIN
