Experimental and practical quantum information science and technology (QIST) is a key focus of R&D for BNL. The successful candidate will join a fast-growing QIST group centered in our Instrumentation Division and working in close collaboration with the QIST group at Stony Brook University.
We invite applicants for a two-year Research Associate position with the possibility to extend by another year, to perform research and development in the field of Basic Energy Research within Quantum Information Science and Technology (QIST). One of the fundamental challenges towards implementing scalable QIST systems is to distribute entanglement in a fast and reliable way. To achieve this, key developments are required, mainly, quantum light sources emitting identical single photons at telecommunication wavelengths, and stationary-to-flying qubit interconnects. In this project, you will be exposed to cutting edge interdisciplinary research working on the boundary between condensed matter physics, atomic physics, and quantum communication. You will study interaction of co-designed fast-photons with atomic vapors and contribute to quantum networking experiments in the testbed spanning between Stony Brook University and BNL.
