About the EQE Group

The Experimental Quantum Engineering (EQE) group at ETH Zurich and PSI seeks highly motivated postdoctoral researchers to work at the intersection of quantum optics and quantum information science. Led by Prof. Wenchao Xu, the EQE group focuses on harnessing the potential of quantum systems involving neutral atoms and their Rydberg states for advancing quantum science and technology.

Project Background

Our research group tackles fundamental challenges in quantum science while advancing quantum technologies through experimental platforms based on neutral atoms. By integrating quantum control and quantum optics techniques with neutral cold atoms and their highly-excited Rydberg states, we aim to engineer large-scale quantum many-body systems and pioneer innovative schemes to enhance controllability and connectivity.

Our objectives include:

  • Demonstrating novel architectures for large-scale quantum processing, featuring reconfigurable local control, rapid non-demolition readout, and quantum error correction.
  • Investigating fundamental questions in quantum thermalization and many-body dynamics, pushing the boundaries of our understanding of complex quantum systems.

We are currently seeking candidates for two postdoctoral positions to work on exciting research projects:

  • The first project focuses on demonstrating the unique advantages of using dual-type atom arrays for reconfigurable local quantum control and rapid, non-demolition stabilizer readout.
  • The second project is developing a novel approach to establish a deterministic quantum interface between stationary atomic qubits and flying optical photons, without the need for optical cavities.

For more detailed information about these two projects and our group, please click the above links and visit our group website.

Responsibilities

As a postdoctoral researcher, you will play an important role in advancing the field of quantum technologies. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Setting up laser systems for coherent atomic state manipulation.
  • Designing optical and electronic systems for precise control.
  • Calibrating dynamical processes involving Rydberg interactions.
  • Analyzing experimental data and optimizing protocols.

This position is full-time, with flexible starting dates in 2025.

Profile
  • A PhD degree in physics or relevant fields.
  • Prior experience in experimental atomic, molecular and optics (AMO) physics.
  • Strong interest in pioneering quantum science with experimental platforms based on neutral atoms and their Rydberg states.
  • Good communication skills in English (German is a plus).
  • Ability to work independently and in collaboration, establishing positive interactions with group members and other researchers.
We Offer

In this role, you will:

  • Have the freedom to develop your research ideas and skills.
  • Have the opportunity to collaborate internally with other ETH and PSI researchers, as well as externally.
  • Experience a supportive group atmosphere.

In line with our values, ETH Zurich encourages an inclusive culture. We promote equality of opportunity, value diversity and nurture a working and learning environment in which the rights and dignity of all our staff and students are respected.

Application Process

We look forward to receiving your online application with the following documents:

  • CV (with publication list).
  • 2-3 references.

Please note that we exclusively accept applications submitted through our online application portal.

Further information about our research group can be found on our website. Questions regarding the position should be directed to Prof. Dr. Wenchao Xu, wencxu@phys.ethz.ch (no applications).
