Hiring Manager
Prasanna Kumar
Responsibilities
Design and implement quantum photonic devices and components, especially related to quantum communication, single photon generation, entanglement, and low count measurement techniques. Design assembly of components into subsystems
Conduct research on quantum information and quantum communication techniques such as squeezed light, quantum interference, and mode decomposition
Investigate novel methodologies for applied quantum techniques outside of information applications
Design and execute rigorous experiments to characterize quantum photonics devices and components under various environmental conditions (temperature, vibration, magnetic fields) to ensure robustness
Contribute to efforts to establish quantum information test bench, including the development of standardized calibration and automated measurement system. Develop and test single photon sources and implementation into larger systems. Optimize system performance while maintaining quantum state
Ability to work within and contribute to cross-disciplinary research teams with key deliverables including prototypes, intellectual property, and publications (an active interest in publishing is highly desirable)
Willingness to participate in, support, and contribute to work-place safety culture and activities
Qualification
Required
Ph.D. in Physics, Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering, Optical Engineering, or a related field
Deep understanding of entanglement, mode decomposition, nonlinear generation of states and spin physics
Proficiency in laser systems, optical design, precision coupling, free-space alignment, and photon detection
Hands-on experience with chip-scale photonics testing, precision fiber alignment, instrument coordination/synchronization, and rigorous data validation
Strong skills in Python, MATLAB, or similar for data analysis and instrument control
Clear communication of results to internal research teams using graphs, mathematics, etc
Preferred
Background in integrated photonics design and Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) simulation tools (e.g., Lumerical, COMSOL, CST)
