PhD position in experimental superconducting qubits at IFAE
15 oct 2026 - 13:54 CET
We are looking for a motivated student for a PhD position at the Quantum Computing Technology (QCT) group at the Institute for High Energy Physics (IFAE). The QCT group hosts a complete laboratory to perform experiments controlling superconducting qubits, including dilution refrigerators and instrumentation for microwave signal generation and acquisition. The group also has access to a metal evaporator exclusively used to produce
superconducting quantum devices. The QCT group has already demonstrated coherent control of superconducting qubits and is developing its own program on coherent quantum annealing through the EuroQHPC-Integration program. In parallel, a line of operating qubits as detectors is being carried out within the Quantera project QRADES. In addition, the QCT group is a partner in the EU SUPREME consortium to realize the implementation of a European foundry of superconducting quantum devices. For more details, follow the official IFAE jobs site.
Deadline: 31 October 2026
Place: IFAE, Edifici Ciencies, Campus UAB, Bellaterra (Cerdanyola del Vallès) 08193, Spain
