Postdoctoral position

We are looking for two postdoctoral researchers to join our group and work in the research directions below. If either of these topics interests you, write an e-mail to Simone Gasparinetti. Include a brief CV and a short motivation letter. Start here 👈

 

Quantum computing with bosonic modes

Building on our recent advances in the preparation, manipulation, and tomography of quantum information encoded in bosonic modes, this project explores advanced quantum information processing with continuous-variable systems. You will work on exploiting the high-dimensional Hilbert spaces of bosonic modes, implementing sophisticated quantum control protocols, and further develop our multi-mode platform including novel approaches to non-Gaussian operations. A major goal is to demonstrate a scalable verification of quantum bosonic processors as the field moves towards quantum advantage.

Travelling-wave parametric amplifier (TWPA) development

We have developed a prototype kinetic-inductance travelling-wave parametric amplifier (KI-TWPA) based on the nonlinear kinetic inductance of superconducting films. Unlike conventional Josephson-junction-based parametric amplifiers, this technology can operate efficiently at both millikelvin and 4 K temperatures while offering high gain, wide bandwidth, and excellent power handling. In this project, you will focus on validating and optimizing the KI-TWPA design, integrating it into superconducting-qubit readout setups, and demonstrating high-fidelity qubit measurements using the amplifier as the only cryogenic amplifier. Eliminating the conventional HEMT stage could substantially reduce heat load and simplify cryogenic hardware for large-scale quantum processors.
