Postdoctoral Research Associate in Infrared Materials Science for Quantum Information Applications

Working as a part of the Materials Thrust inside the Co-design Center for Quantum Advantage (C2QA), the successful applicant will undertake infrared studies of materials using both synchrotron and conventional lab sources at NSLS-II to help in the characterization, design, and advancement of the materials used in Qubit fabrication. Qubits are highly prone to errors because of interactions with their environment as well as defects in the qubit materials. The successful applicant will work with researchers at NSLS-II, the Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN), and other partner institutions within C2QA to characterize these qubit materials using infrared spectroscopic techniques. Other material systems exhibiting novel quantum phenomena and having potential for devices and other information technology will be of interest as well.
