Project Description


Project description:

The implementation of a scalable architecture for quantum computing is one of the most intensely pursued research goals in current quantum science. In this context, the Quantum Networks Group at TUM investigates erbium dopants in nanophotonic silicon resonators. To process quantum information in such system, individual dopants have to be coupled to impinging light fields with high efficiency. During the internship, the applicant will numerically and experimentally investigate the use of novel nanophotonic structures in this context.
Specifically, he/she will simulate novel nanophotonic cavities based on finite-difference-time-domain simulations. After comparing different designs, she/he will help with the fabrication and experimental characterization of corresponding devices. In this process, the applicant will learn the basic sample preparation techniques and perform optical measurements with a tailored microscope setup. In addition, he/she will acquire expertise in data evaluation. Finally, during regular discussions with the team, the applicant will strengthen his presentation and communication skills.
