About the position

The focus of the tenure track position is to establish a research program addressing secure quantum communication. We are looking for someone motivated in establishing how advances miniaturized device technology can be used to realize practical communication strategies. The long-term technical goal is to develop technologies and devices to enable implementation of short and long-distance quantum communication, thereby supporting large scale deployments. The successful candidate will address photonic integrated circuits to manipulate and transport quantum states, including their use in the quantum communication stack through the development of relevant communication methods and strategies.

You will join a dynamic environment currently developing novel nanoscale materials with tuneable properties, photonic sensors, and optical characterization techniques for information technology applications, as well as classical and machine learning based signal processing algorithms for use within communications. Today’s activities include III-V nanowire- and silicon based photonic systems, realization of frequency combs, as well as secure communications in wireless environment and information theoretic limits. We have state of the art labs within Photonics engineering and access to NTNU Nanolab  for device fabrication.

Your immediate leader is Head of Department.
