Description
Toshiba Europe Ltd have been at the forefront of research in quantum technology, particularly quantum communications and semiconductor quantum devices for the past two decades. During this time, they have made many breakthroughs, such as the first single and entangled photon LEDs, and the first GHz operation of 1550nm single photon avalanche diodes.
We are inviting applications to join our experienced team to research and develop quantum optical systems for the quantum internet. The successful applicant will develop and characterise deployable systems to generate single and entangled photons, and interface them with fibreoptic networks for secure sharing of quantum information. The role will require a fundamental understanding of quantum light sources and light-matter interaction, and will involve specification and integration of the optical, electrical and mechanical components required to create novel experimental demonstrator systems.
