Titolo di lavoro: ASSEGNISTA DI RICERCA NELLE SCIENZE FISICHE

Descrizione del lavoro:
The candidate will work on a recently started project at FBK-CMM which focuses on the development of photonic integrated circuits for quantum simulation and quantum computing with entangled photons. 
At the heart of the project lays the idea to implement a full photonic/electronic integration to demonstrate the first breakthrough prototype device, which will perform standard operations to simulate a quantum mechanical problem in a compact device operating at or close-to-room temperatures. Within this project we aim to develop an integrated device, where (i) a quantum photonic circuitry (QPC) handling both a source of NIR entangled photons and their manipulation architectures will be (ii) fully and monolithically integrated with photon-counting detectors operating at close-to-room temperatures.

In this context, we are looking for an experimental physicist who will work on the development of a photonic integrated circuit with homogeneously integrated photon counter devices. The activity will be focused on the conception of smart technological solutions for a highly efficient transfer of single photons from the quantum optical circuit to the single-photon resolving devices, as well as on the understanding/improvement of photonic-electronic device properties through numerical FEM simulations and experimental characterization. All the activity will be carried on in strict collaboration with other device and process engineers. The young researcher will thus bridge the research activity on quantum photonic and electronic aspects of the project, thus strengthening this new interdisciplinary research activity.

The ideal candidate should have a strong background in physics, classical and quantum optics with an emphasis on photonic circuitry physics. Experience on microfabrication tools, electro-optical characterization techniques and set-ups, as well as circuit electronics are preferred. 

The ideal candidate should have:

PhD degree in Physics (Thesis work or experience in the domain of Photonics);
Strong background in photonics circuits physics;
Previous experience in photonic circuits fabrication;
Experience in optical/spectroscopic characterization;
Enthusiastic attitude to research activity;
Good scientific background and ability to write scientific papers;
Good knowledge of English (oral and written);
Strong teamwork attitude; 

Additional requirements

Experience in photonic circuits and mask design (CAD);
Knowledge of FEM and MATLAB programming (preferably also LabVIEW);
Knowledge of quantum optical gates;
Knowledge of semiconductor light sensors; 
Scientific publications relevant to the field of photonic devices; 
Visiting scholarship or experience at international level.
