Are you passionate about research? So are we Come and join us:

The Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) is a Research and Technology Organization (RTO) active in the fields of materials, environment and IT.

By transforming scientific knowledge into technologies, smart data and tools, LIST empowers citizens in their choices, public authorities in their decisions and businesses in their strategies.


How will you contribute?:

The project is nested within the European Union's Horizon FPA "Quantum Internet Alliance - QIA".

  • The longterm ambition of QIA is to build a Quantum Internet. You will be embedded in our consortium comprising 40 worldleading academic and industrial partners. The PhD also comprises a shortterm secondment at 3rd Institute of Physics of Stuttgart University.
  • More information about QIA can be found here:

General context of the PhD thesis:

  • Quantum networks require connecting multiple "quantum nodes" via the fibre internet. Quantum nodes are small quantum computers, used for error correction and data storage.

However, currently pursued platforms lack:

  • An efficient connection to the fibre internet.
  • Reproducibility.
  • Potential to increase local qubit numbers for improved error correction.
  • Within QIA, you continue our developments on a scalable quantum network architecture based on colour centres in the industrial semiconductor silicon carbide (SiC). Using SiC wafers allows to produce massive amounts of qubits. Individual qubits will use spin systems (electron and nuclear) to implement quantum computing. By integrating these qubits in nanophotonic waveguide structures, multiple qubits on a SiC chip can be connected through photonic interference.

Your mission:

  • The overarching objective of this PhD thesis is to produce qubits based on SiC colour centres using industry compatible techniques. To accelerate this process development, you will initially set up a new highthroughput cryooptic measurement station. This allows to characterise 100s to 1000s of colour centres simultaneously. This task comprises hardware and software developments.
  • Using the measurement station, you will perform cleanroom process developments towards integrating colour centres into quantumgrade SiC nanophotonic structures.
Depending on the results, the final goal of the PhD thesis is to implement:

- (a) Optical interference experiments between two separated colour centres to prepare quantum network tasks.
- (b) High-fidelity control of nuclear spin quantum computational registers in SiC nanostructures to prepare local error correction tasks.
- (c) Both (a) and (b).


Your work will be in close collaboration with our direct collaboration partners within QIA, TU Delft (Taminiau group) and University of Stuttgart (Wrachtrup group), as well as our long-term collaborators at Stanford University (Vuckovic group).

You hold a master degree in Physics, Quantum Technology, Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, or Photonics.

  • Your MSc thesis must include in majority
- _experimental_ work in either Optics, (Quantum) Photonics, or Cleanroom Fabrication.

  • Your technical skills comprise:
  • Proficient level of English.
  • Excellent written and oral communication, e.g., proven by publications, reports, or conference presentations.
  • Willingness to take initiatives for result oriented work.
  • Excitement to collaborate and efficiently communicate with the supervisor and with our international partners.
  • Plus: Experience with quantum optics in cryogenic environments, and/or hardware control in python.
Do you hold these skills? Then you have all it takes to perform a successful PhD project. You're the one we're looking for

Your LIST benefits:

  • An organization with a passion for impact and strong RDI partnerships in Luxembourg and Europe that works on responsible and independent research projects
  • Sustainable by design, empowering our belief that we play an essential role in paving the way to a green society
  • Innovative infrastructures and exceptional labs occupying more than 5,000 square metres, including innovations in all that we do
  • An environment encouraging curiosity, innovation and entrepreneurship in all areas
  • Personalized learning programme to foster our staff's soft and technical skills
  • Multicultural and international work environment with more than 50 nationalities represented in our workforce
  • Diverse and inclusive work environment empowering our people to fulfil their personal and professional ambitions
  • Genderfriendly environment with multiple actions to attract, develop and retain women in science
  • 32 days' paid annual leave, 11 public holidays, 13month salary, statutory health insurance
  • Flexible working hours, home working policy and access to lunch vouchers
  • A motivation letter oriented towards the position and detailing your experience;
  • A scientific CV with contact details;
  • List of publications (and patents, if applicable
