Indefinite contract.

Work to be performed: Implementation of novel quantum communication systems, for fiber communication and compatible with free space and satellite communication. The idea is to have a system that is based either on QKD or direct quantum communication agnostic to the channel used

Functions to be performed:

  • Read scientific literature in the field of quantum communication and quantum key distribution (QKD) systems.
  • Implementation of novel quantum communication systems in fiber and compatible with free space.
  • Design and implementation of electronic cards for the system.
  • Simulation of the behavior of the protocol in a fiber channel.
  • Characterization and implementation in the system of the optical components, i.e. laser, single photon detectors, etc..

Required qualifications: Bachelor’s or Master’s degrees in Physics, Mathematics, or Engineering

Gross monthly salary: 2.250,00 € (including the apportionments of extra payments)

Workday: 37,5 hours per week
