The group is seeking a staff research engineer to support programs targeting development of entanglement-based quantum communication network technologies. The successful candidate should be familiar with quantum optics and quantum optical laboratory experimental apparatus, including for example: spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) entanglement source, single-photon detector and Bell-state measurement technologies. Experience with fiber-optic, integrated photonics and free-space optical transmission channels is desirable. Quantum memory (with a photonic interface) is another critical technology for extending quantum network testbed demonstrations to fielded system applications. It is also desirable for the successful candidate to be experienced in quantum memory technology development, including for example: diamond defect-center based memories with Nitrogen or Silicon vacancies.
