PhD scholarship in Quantum-Mechanical Theory of Quantum Emitters - DTU Electro

DTU - Technical University of Denmark
Region Hovedstaden
Full time
for 1 dag siden

The project takes place in the Quantum Light Sources group at DTU Electro, where we design, model, fabricate and test sources of single photons or entangled photon pairs. These are essential components for optical quantum computers and quantum networks, where one bit of information is encoded in the quantum state of a single photon. 

You will be part of a team of 10-12 people between senior staff and Bachelor/Master/PhD students that is trying to establish the indispensable building blocks for the quantum technology of tomorrow.

Responsibilities 
You overall focus will be to develop theoretical models to describe the dynamics of quantum light sources, with the goal of understanding their behavior and improve their performance. You will work in close collaboration with the experimental team, and your theory will provide important guidelines for the experiments performed in our lab.

The primary tasks will be to:

As part of the Danish PhD program, you will also take PhD courses, participate in teaching, conduct an external research stay, and disseminate your research through publications.

Qualifications
You must have a two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree. 

Additionally, you have:

Approval and Enrolment

Application procedure 
Your complete online application must be submitted no later than 18 September 2025 (23:59 Danish time). Applications must be submitted as one PDF file containing all materials to be given consideration. To apply, please open the link "Apply now", fill out the online application form, and attach all your materials in English in one PDF file. The file must include:

You may apply prior to ob­tai­ning your master's degree but cannot begin before having received it.

Applications received after the deadline will not be considered.

All interested candidates irrespective of age, gender, disability, race, religion or ethnic background are encouraged to apply. As DTU works with research in critical technology, which is subject to special rules for security and export control, open-source background checks may be conducted on qualified candidates for the position.

The Department of Electrical and Photonics Engineering (DTU Electro) has nearly 300 employees of which around 200 research different aspects of photonics. Research is performed within nanophotonics, photonic nanotechnology, lasers, quantum photonics, optical sensors, LEDs, photovoltaics, ultra-high speed optical transmission systems, and bio-photonics. 

Technology for people
DTU develops technology for people. With our international elite research and study programmes, we are helping to create a better world and to solve the global challenges formulated in the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Hans Christian Ørsted founded DTU in 1829 with a clear mission to develop and create value using science and engineering to benefit society. That mission lives on today. DTU has 13,500 students and 6,000 employees. We work in an international atmosphere and have an inclusive, evolving, and informal working environment. DTU has campuses in all parts of Denmark and in Greenland, and we collaborate with the best universities around the world.
