Research Fellow – Quantum Processor Development

About the role

The School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences at Nanyang Technological University seeks a Research Fellow to lead the development of an experimental quantum processor based on neutral atom arrays. The role involves building and operating a cold‑atom apparatus and guiding a small research team.

Key responsibilities

• Design, construct, and optimise a cold‑atom apparatus using state‑of‑the‑art technologies.
• Develop the hardware and software interfaces required to drive a neutral‑atom quantum processor.
• Collect, process, and analyse experimental data to assess processor performance.
• Report progress weekly to the principal investigator.
• Supervise and mentor undergraduate and PhD students working on the project.

Required profile

• PhD in experimental physics, preferably in quantum physics or optics.
• At least one year of relevant experience in a similar research environment.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently on complex experimental setups.

Required skills

• Laser systems
• Vacuum technology
• Atomic physics
• Photonics
