Description
Organisation/Company: CNRS
Research Field: Engineering Physics Technology
Researcher Profile: Recognised Researcher (R2)
Application Deadline: 13/07/2022 23:59 - Europe/Brussels
Location: France › GRENOBLE
Type Of Contract: Temporary
Job Status: Full-time
Hours Per Week: 35
Offer Starting Date: 01/10/2022
Together with a PhD student, the post-doc will design and operate the
experimental set-up to tune the spectroscopic properties of the QD, carry out
resonant micro-photoluminescence and perform the entanglement measurements.
This work will be done in very close collaboration with a PhD student and a
post-doc of the CEA-IRIG team that will be in charge of the design and
fabrication of the samples.
A two-year post-doctoral position is available at Institut Néel (Grenoble,
France) in the Quantum Optics group led by Jean-Philippe Poizat. This
position is part of the project « A bright source of Indistinguishable
Polarization-entangled On-Demand photon pairs » obtained together with the
team of Julien Claudon, and Jean-Michel Gérard at CEA-IRIG (Grenoble,
France), from the Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR).
The goal of this project is to use a single semiconductor quantum dot (QD)
embedded in a photonic waveguide to produce polarization entangled photon
pairs with a very high quantum efficiency. The specificity of this project is
that we will use strain and electrostatic fields to tune the properties of the
QD and produce a device satisfying all the requirements for a realistic
implementation in a quantum communication set-up.
Institut Néel is one of the largest French national research institutes in
condensed matter physics. Grenoble features a unique scientific, industrial
and cultural ecosystem. It offers one of Europe's largest high-tech center.
Grenoble has been identified as one of the three French Quantum Hubs together
with Paris and Saclay. It benefits from an exceptional environment at the
heart of the French Alps.
The candidate will work in the NanoPhysics and SemiConductors team which is a
a joint group between the Institut Néel and the Interdisciplinary Research
Institute of Grenoble (IRIG) of the CEA.
The Institut NEEL is a CNRS laboratory. CNRS is a public, scientific and
technological organisation.
The core mandate is to identify, carry out ou have carried out, either alone
or with partners, all research that advances science or contributes to the
country's economic, social, and cultural progress. Internationally recognised
for the excellence of its scientific research, the CNRS is a reference in the
world of research and development, as well as for the general public.
Eligibility criteria
The candidate must have a solid background in experimental semiconductor
optics and/or quantum optics. She/he must be able to supervise a PhD student
and to conduct an experimental project with large autonomy. Work with Institut
Néel technical staff and with our CEA-IRIG collaborators will require a strong
team spirit.
