Seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher (25-2155) (Floating-Electron-Based Quantum Information RIKEN Hakubi Research Team)

About this position

[Background of the recruitment and description of the project]

• Background of the recruitment and description of the project

The missions of RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing (RQC) are to deepen our understandings of quantum mechanics and quantum information, develop techniques for quantum control and measurement, build quantum computing hardware and software, and explore novel applications. We promote basic research on quantum information science and contribute to society through quantum technology.

In our laboratory, we study floating electrons on the surface of liquid helium or solid neon. These physical systems are free of defects or impurities since the electrons exist in vacuum. Thanks to its cleanliness, the quantum states of floating electrons are expected to have a long coherence time, which provides a perfect platform to realize qubits with.
