Control of trapped ion qudits with structured light

The Quantum Lab is offering two 12-months paid research positions (borse di ricerca), for candidates with at least a Master degree in Physics, on the topic of “Control of Trapped Ion Qudits with Structured Light.” The project focuses on developing theoretical frameworks on the interaction between atomic systems and laser beams with spatially a shaped wavefront, and to use them to optimally control qudit systems for quantum information processing. The results will be used to guide the design of nanostructured metalenses for the experimental implementation.

 

 

Quantum Lab trapped ion experiment – bachelor and master projects

The Quantum group at DFA offers experimental bachelor and master thesis projects contributing to the activities of the new Quantum Lab, currently focused on the setup of a trapped ion experiment with Barium atoms for quantum information and simulation.

Available projects:

Bachelor

  • Setting up an IT infrastructure to run and monitor a trapped ion experiment

Master

  • Design and implementation of a magneto-optical trap for Barium atoms
  • Implementing a laser lock system based on a Scanning Transfer Cavity

For further information about all openings on experimental projects, please contact Carmelo Mordini (carmelo.mordini@unipd.it)
