, at DTU Electro, the Technical University of Denmark, we are seeking a candidate for a PhD position to research generation of optical quantum states, specifically photon pairs and entangled photon states in waveguide devices based on silicon carbide material. The overall aim is to demonstrate devices for application in quantum communication.
The PhD student will participate in an international team in an EU-funded Doctoral Network project called SiCPIC. The project consists of 15 PhD students at 5 universities and one company. The project has partners from five different EU countries. All 15 PhD projects are within the overall theme of Silicon carbide on insulator (SiCOI) devices and integration for applications in classic and quantum optical telecommunication, and optical sensing.
This PhD project will take place at DTU Electro. Apart from the time at DTU there will a secondment of approx. 6 months at Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica, Italy. In addition, there will also be common meetings with the other 14 PhD students in the doctoral network, including 3 training schools.
As a participant of the project, the PhD student will become part of a team at DTU with expertise in nonlinear optics in optical fibers and planar waveguides. The activities within the project will benefit from synergies with other projects in the group as well as with other activities at the department. The main supervisor will be Professor Karsten Rottwitt, DTU Electro.
Responsibilities and tasks Research into generation of photon pairs and entangled photons, using four wave mixing. The overall goal is to design and characterize waveguide devices and establish necessary theoretical background. Focus on the following areas:
- Design and characterization of photon pair sources in simple waveguide devices
- Optimization of waveguides for photon pair sources
- Design and characterization of sources of entangled quantum states.
SiCPIC PhD student
- A letter motivating the application (cover letter)
- Curriculum vitae
- Grade transcripts and BSc/MSc diploma (in English) including official description of grading scale
