Job Description
In 2022, Qunnect became the first company to commercialize quantum memories. Our team is dedicated to the practical deployment of quantum networks, developing systems that use room-temperature atomic ensembles for entanglement generation and quantum storage. Recently, we achieved a major milestone: the first demonstration of quantum entanglement between a telecom photon and a room-temperature memory, using rubidium vapor cells as the core technology.
We are now looking for experienced physicists to join our Quantum Science Team and help advance the performance of these memories while integrating them into distributed quantum protocols. As a Scientist at Qunnect, you will work closely with both science and engineering teams, contributing to ongoing and exploratory R&D efforts focused on atomic-based quantum memories.
Candidates should have hands-on experience in experimental AMO physics, particularly in light-matter interfaces and atomic systems. Prior work with quantum memories is highly desirable.
Job Duties:
Required Qualifications:
• PhD in Quantum or Atomic (AMO) Physics
• 3+ Year of experimental research in Quantum Optics or Atomic (AMO) Physics
• In depth understanding of quantum physics and its applications in quantum information
• Experience working with atomic quantum memories or very similar experiments
• Experience with simulation and modeling in quantum or AMO research
• Proficiency in controlling scientific instrumentation using Python or similar
Preferred Qualifications:
We don’t expect candidates to meet every listed qualification. If you're interested in the role, feel free to reach out with your background and we’ll be happy to share more details about the position.
