Join Us at the Forefront of Quantum Computing Innovation 🚀
Description of the Team/Project
The Source Applications Team develops semiconductor quantum light sources and spin-photon interfaces for quantum information processing. Our work combines experimental quantum optics, coherent spin control, and photonic entanglement generation.
Preserving spin coherence is essential for generating entangled states and performing quantum operations. This internship will investigate dynamical decoupling techniques to protect spins in semiconductor quantum dots from environmental noise and extend their coherence beyond the free-induction dephasing time, T*.
Working closely with our scientists, you will implement and compare optical spin-control sequences, identify their practical limitations, and assess their compatibility with spin-photon entanglement protocols.
Your Key Responsibilities
- Characterize spin coherence.
- Implement and optimize dynamical decoupling sequences, such as CPMG-family sequences.
- Investigate how pulse timing, rotation fidelity, and excitation conditions affect coherence preservation.
- Analyze experimental data to extract coherence times and compare the performance of different sequences.
- Work with the team to interpret results and identify the main sources of decoherence and control errors.
- Document your findings and contribute to the development of robust spin-control protocols for quantum information experiments.
