Offer Description

The coherence time is a key metric for assessing the performance of a quantum bit. We have recently proposed a new type of qubit that encodes information in the mechanical displacement of a carbon nanotube and leverages its coupling to a two-level electronic system to induce sufficiently strong anharmonicity, thereby enabling its manipulation and readout.
As part of this project, we aim to investigate the coupling between the mechanical modes of a suspended bilayer graphene and the quantum dots that can be formed within it. The recruited person will be tasked with theoretically studying how to exploit the deformation of a mechanical oscillator to create a novel type of mechanical qubit.

Theory

This project is part of the European HORIZON-EIC-2025-PATHFINDEROPEN MECH-QUBIT (MECHanical QUBIT With Enhanced Coherence) program.

The position falls under the scope of the French Scientific and Technical Potential Protection (PPST), and therefore, in accordance with regulations, your arrival must be authorized by the competent authority of the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research (MESR).
