Master + PhD in Quantum Hardware Group: "Quantum computing with spins in silicon"

The Nanoscience Cooperative Research Center, CIC nanoGUNE, located in Donostia / San Sebastian, Basque Country (Spain), is currently looking for a

MASTER STUDENT

to work on

Quantum computing with spins in silicon

NanoGUNE is a research center devoted to conducting world-class nanoscience research for a competitive growth of the Basque Country. NanoGUNE is a member of the Basque Research and Technology Alliance (BRTA) and is recognized by the Spanish Research Agency as a María de Maeztu Unit of Excellence.

The project will focus on developing scalable quantum computing hardware based on silicon transistors to solve some of society’s most pressing computational challenges. Silicon-based approaches to quantum information processing offer advantages for scaling such as high qubit density, record qubit coherence lifetimes for the solid state, and the ability to leverage the advanced nanofabrication methods of the semiconductor industry.

The selected candidate will join the Quantum Hardware group lead by Prof. M. Fernando Gonzalez-Zalba, a multidisciplinary and dynamic research team passionate about building a scalable quantum computer based on silicon technology.
