Open Positions

We currently do not have open positions announced, but are open to applications for Semester and Masters projects.

Some of the available student projects in 2026 are:

20-zone trap chip with integrated photonics

  • Semester project on fiber noise cancellation of the qubit laser light delivery
  • Semester project on characterization of heating rates on the trapped ion chip.
  • Semester project on characterization of beam pointing stability of integrated photonic light delivery.
  • Master's Thesis project on the simulation and systematic analysis of a trapped ion optical atomic clock
  • Master's Thesis project on loading and gate operations with integrated photonic light delivery.
