About the role
Quantum computing has been making significant steps over the last years and is gradually making it’s way towards becoming a reality. For Nvidia, it is necessary to prepare for this age and examine how our datacenters become ready for the introduction of this revolutionary technology. Nvidia Advanced Research Group is seeking a talented and dedicated student to join their quantum optics team to support Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) activities. The work will include establishing new optical setups, testing of future components, circuits and devices and engagement in adapting solutions for the post quantum future.
What you will be doing: Designing, realizing and testing of QKD and other optical setups in the labs
Assembling fiber based electro-optical (EO) setups
Testing and characterization of EO components & Photonic Integrated Chip (PICs)
Drafting of laboratory measurement reports
Involvement in examination of cutting-edge technology for practical applications
What we need to see
MSc or PhD student in the field of Electro-optics, quantum optics, physics or similar Hands-on lab experience with either free-space or fiber optical setups and related measurements instruments Knowledge & understanding of EO components & working principles At least 2-3 years left until graduation Availability to work at least a 50 % position at Nvidia labs in Yokneam Knowledge of Python, MATLAB, or other data analysis tools. Good communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with teams members Drive, initiative, and independence
Ways to stand out from the crowd
-
Familiarity with quantum optics and QKD protocols.
-
Understanding of optical detection methods & detectors– SPADs, Coherent detection, etc
-
Lab experience with electro-optic components such as modulators, VOA, polarization correction methods, fiber coupling & RF probing
