Ph D position: Strained Germanium Quantum-Well Transistors for Integrated Cryogenic Spin Qubit Readout (P2607) 100% position for 4 years, earliest starting date: 1 January 2027 Building a quantum computer that can solve real-world problems will require the integration of many highly coherent qubits.
Hole-spin qubits in planar germanium quantum wells are among the most promising candidates for this goal, combining fast electrical control, compact device geometry, and excellent performance in a semiconductor platform.
As this technology advances, one of the main remaining challenges is readout: the quantum state of each qubit must be converted into a small electrical signal and detected quickly and reliably.
At present, this still depends strongly on external wiring and amplification hardware, which becomes increasingly difficult to scale as the number of qubits grows.
Your position This Ph D project aims to explore strained Ge/Si Ge quantum-well transistors as integrated cryogenic readout devices for hole-spin qubits.
By operating amplification and signal routing closer to the quantum device, the project seeks to enable more compact and scalable readout architectures at very low temperatures.
By combining advanced material growth, nanoscale fabrication, and cryogenic device physics within a single material platform, the work aims to develop new concepts for scalable quantum hardware.
More broadly, it will strengthen planar germanium as a platform for integrated quantum nanoelectronics and help open a path towards large-scale semiconductor quantum processors.
Your profile The candidate must have Master studies in nanoscience, physics or any related engineering.
Previous experience in fabrication or transport measurements is desired but not compulsory.
We offer you Excellent scientific and social environment Very competitive employment conditions Membership in a very supportive and recognised community The successful candidate will become a member of very active research groups and of the Swiss Nanoscience Institute (SNI) Ph D school with ~30 currently supported scientists.
The SNI covers a wide variety of topics, including cutting edge quantum physics and chemistry, material science, nanotechnology, biochemistry, cell biology, or medical research.
