Master Thesis: Hardware Control in Quantum Technologies

vor 3 Monaten


Fribourg, Schweiz Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft Vollzeit

The Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics (IAF) is one of the world's leading research institutes in the fields of III/V seminconductors and synthetic diamond. Together with our partners from industry and science, we research and develop electronic, optoelectronic and quantum technological components and systems. The focus is on research and development for applications in the fields of security, health, energy, information and communication.

 

In the field of quantum technology, the institute is working on realizing a quantum computer based on color centres in diamond. We use nitrogen vacancy (NV) centres in diamond to generate qubits. Using microwave CBD, we generate NV centres by doping with nitrogen during the diamond growth and characterize them on site with regard to their spin properties using the existing measurement setups.

 

As part of the master's thesis, you will conduct experiments on the coherent control of spin states in diamond, optimized with control hardware. The goal is to demonstrate complex pulse sequences and their suitability as quantum gates for NV centres in diamond at room temperature.

 

What you will do

  • Your tasks include the operation of measurement setups for the characterization of the spin properties of NV centres in diamond.
  • You further develop a Python based software control of the control hardware.
  • You conduct photoluminescence experiments on the confocal microscope.
  • The documentation and preparation of measurement results is also part of your work.

 

What you bring to the table

  • You are enrolled as a student in the field of Physics, Microsystems Technology or a comparable discipline.
  • You already have programming skills in Python.
  • You are fluent in German or English.
  • You enjoy experimental and scientific work.
  • You are a team player and are open and motivated to work independently and goal-oriented.

 

What you can expect

  • You gain access to the most modern technologies and laboratory equipments.
  • We value an open and team oriented corporate culture that gives you the oportunity to contribute your own ideas.
  • You will be assigned diverse and intriguing tasks in the context of an internationally renowned research centre. 
  • We offer you support at eye-level by experienced scientists and experts throughout your thesis.
  • You will be working with an interdisciplinary team on current projects with clear goals.
  • We enable you to have an independent time management that is compatible with your studies through flexible working hours.
  • The position is initially limited to 6 months.

 

The weekly working time is 10 hours.

 

We value and promote the diversity of our employees' skills and therefore welcome all applications - regardless of age, gender, nationality, ethnic and social origin, religion, ideology, disability, sexual orientation and identity. Severely disabled persons are given preference in the event of equal suitability. Remuneration according to the general works agreement for employing assistant staff.

 

With its focus on developing key technologies that are vital for the future and enabling the commercial utilization of this work by business and industry, Fraunhofer plays a central role in the innovation process. As a pioneer and catalyst for groundbreaking developments and scientific excellence, Fraunhofer helps shape society now and in the future.
