Postdoctoral Fellow Position

STM based optical access to a single spin

Project

The UNSW and the Centre for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology seek enthusiastic

candidates for a Postdoctoral Fellow (level B, $112K - $132K plus 17% Superannuation) position in the field

rare-earth ions based on electron-spin resonance and scanning-tunnelling spectroscopy. Rare-earth ions,

such as Erbium (Er), are now considered as promising candidates for quantum computation and

communication applications due to their extraordinary long spin and optical coherence times at cryogenic

temperatures [1]. The Postdoctoral Fellow will undertake the development of optical access to a single rareearth

spin in a scanning tunnelling microscope. The goal of this project is to achieve control over rare-earth

ion’s position in crystal hosts such as Si as well as rare-earth ion’s site, that is, its relative location with respect

to the host crystal atoms. This project is a collaboration with the group of Prof Andreas Heinrich at IBS Centre

for Quantum Nanoscience (QNS) in Seoul that pioneered STM based electron spin resonance [2].

Your role

You will join a team that is establishing STM based ESR as a local magnetic field sensor at UNSW that will be

used to detect the spin state of a single rare-earth atom. The aim is to optically manipulate the spin state of

an atom based on resonant resonantly driving its telecom optical. You will carry out clean room

nanofabrication, scanning-tunnelling spectroscopy at low temperature in ultra-high vacuum, epitaxial growth,

and collaborate with theory groups.

Environment

You will benefit from the world-recognized expertise on single ion-based quantum devices and quantumstate

imaging [3,4]. Furthermore, you will have access to a range of unique methods developed in the centre

labs, i.e., an atomic-scale device fabrication, coherent spin control, quantum state imaging of full devices [to

appear in Nature Electronics 2023]. You will develop skills on low-temperature optical spectroscopy in

combination with scanning probe work. Strong international collaborations are maintained with groups on

experimental and theoretical sides.

Criteria

Enthusiastic PhD graduate, or equivalent, with STM experience and knowledge in semiconductors, optics,

quantum mechanics and condensed matter physics. Knowledge of equity and diversity principles.

Postdoctoral Fellow Position

Rare-earth based devices for quantum-information processing

Project

The UNSW and the Centre for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology seek enthusiastic

candidates for a PostDoc (level A step 6, $100K - $107K plus 17% Superannuation) position in the field of

rare-earth ions based experimental photonics for quantum information processing. Rare-earth ions, such as

Erbium (Er), are now considered as promising candidates for quantum computation and communication

applications due to their extraordinary long spin and optical coherence times at cryogenic temperatures [1].

Erbium is especially interesting as, additionally to narrow spin and optical linewidths and negligible

nonradiative losses, Er ions emit photons at the telecommunication wavelength. Integrating single Er ions

with Si-based photonic nanocavities can potentially allow realizing single photon sources that can be used

for cluster state generation, a primary source for measurement-based quantum computing [2, 3].

Your role

You will work on integrating Er ions with photonic nanostructures. A near future result of this effort will be

an array of sources of pure indistinguishable photons operating at the telecommunication wavelength. Erbased

single photon sources will be used for quantum optics experiments relevant to optical quantum

computing, i.e., cluster state generation [4, 5] and optical boson sampling [6]. The candidate will carry out

clean room nanofabrication, spectroscopy, theory, and numerical modelling.

Environment

You will benefit from the world-recognized expertise on single ion-based quantum devices and quantum

electronics. The candidate will have access to a range of unique methods developed at Rogge’s lab, i.e., a

highly sensitive spectroscopy technique based on a sample on single photon detector approach. You will

develop strong skills on low-temperature optical spectroscopy, device engineering and nanofabrication.

Strong international collaborations (USA, Europe) are maintained with groups on experimental and

theoretical sides.

Criteria

Enthusiastic PhD graduate, or equivalent, with knowledge in semiconductors, optics, quantum mechanics

and condensed matter physics. Knowledge of equity and diversity principles.
