Research Associate (m/f/x)

Task

We seek applications for a Postdoc position in Quantum Technologies applied to 6G communications. The design of architecture and interfaces of network and link layer with the quantum hardware infrastructure will be part of the work. The focus will be on quantum resources for efficient sensing and low latency in future 6G communication networks. The work will consist of a theoretical design and experimental tests and measurements in order to provide a more complete and accurate characterization of the system. The results of the work will be important for applications of Quantum Technologies in the context of distributed sensing and human-machine interaction.

Requirements

  • University and PhD degree in electrical or electronic engineering, telecommunications engineering, physics, or equivalent;
  • Research experience in one of the following areas: experimental quantum optics, ultrafast optics, nanophotonics or spectroscopy of 2D materials;
  • experience in optics, lasers, and building optical spectroscopy platforms;
  • Experience in 2D material heterostructure assembly,
    laser-material interactions, ultrafast pump probe spectroscopy and solid-state single photon sources;
  • Candidates should be proficient in English and have good oral and written communication skills.

Research Associate (m/f/x)

Task

We seek applicants for a position in Quantum Technologies for low latency 6G communications. Low latency will be a critical key performance indicator (KPI) in future 6G communication networks. In particular, these networks will employ massive distributed storage and computing resources for network management and operations. In this context, Network coding was demonstrated to improve latency, security, and sustainability through recoding techniques. Recoding can also be implemented through softwarization. However, virtualized environments will generate additional latencies. Quantum resources and technologies have been identified as an optimal means to distribute and handle shared randomness. The successful candidate will have to investigate the possibility of latency optimization by quantum entanglement creation and distribution for random linear network coded communication environment. For example, the shared randomness obtained via entanglement distribution could target the reduction of the communication overhead generated by sending the coding coefficients. The investigation will deal with metrics like entanglement fidelity and entanglement source quality. Moreover, the study of the trade-offs of different entanglement sources will help in providing an effective integration between network coding and the quantum physical-link layer.

Requirements

  • Strong programming skills are highly recommended
  • University and if applicable PhD degree in electrical or electronic engineering, telecommunications engineering, computer science, physics or equivalent;
  • Knowledge of quantum mechanics and/or network coding.
  • Candidates should be proficient in English and have good oral and written communication skills.
  • Former experience with Matlab, C programming language is recommended.
