Are you excited about pioneering experimental quantum computing? Do you want to be part of a world-class research environment developing the next generation of superconducting quantum processors? We are seeking a Postdoctoral researcher to join our ambitious team at the Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology (WACQT), based at the Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience (MC2). About us  The https://www.chalmers.se/en/departments/mc2/ (MC2) advances the frontiers in quantum technology, nanoscience, photonics, and future electronic systems. Our cross-disciplinary approach drives innovations through collaborations across academia, industry, and society. We offer a vibrant, international environment with direct access to world-class nanofabrication facilities. At the https://www.chalmers.se/en/departments/mc2/research/quantum-technology/ (QTL), we explore how quantum physics can unlock radically new ways of processing information. Our research spans quantum computing, sensing, transduction, and thermodynamics, aimed at harnessing the behavior of light and matter at the quantum level. About the research project   This project is a proof-of-concept effort aimed at demonstrating a reliable post-fabrication trimming process for Josephson junctions in superconducting qubits. Unlike open-ended exploratory research, this project is goal-oriented and experimentally driven. It requires both careful physical interpretation and structured technical validation.

While the role does not include formal personnel management, scientific initiative and independence are highly expected. Key responsibilities include: Designing and executing cryogenic experiments. Characterizing Josephson junctions and superconducting circuits. Analyzing device behavior and degradation mechanisms. Correlating electrical performance with material properties (aging, interfaces, coherence). Contributing to reproducible superconducting qubit fabrication workflows within WACQT. The project is closely connected to ongoing superconducting quantum processor development efforts within WACQT. Who we are looking for  The following requirements are mandatory:  A PhD in Physics, Applied Physics, Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field. Strong experimental research experience in superconducting devices, quantum devices, low-temperature physics, nanoscience, or related areas.
