2	Zurich Instruments	-프로젝트형 : 1명 -인턴십형 : 1명	* Type of Research : Quantum computing, Quantum computing control systems, Benchmarking of quantum computers Zurich Instruments is a company of scientists for scientists, dedicated to advancing science and accelerating the second quantum revolution. With over 150 employees worldwide, their primary focus is on developing and improving the Quantum Computing Control System (QCCS). They have introduced the first commercial QCCS in 2018, capable of controlling over 100 superconducting and spin qubits. The company has since launched the second generation of QCCS and actively contributed to various international research projects in the field of quantum computing. Their current work revolves around efficiently controlling and reading qubits, including tasks like bring-up, calibration, optimization, and benchmarking for different qubit technologies and scaling sizes. The QCCS components are designed to work together in synchrony, with LabOne Q serving as the control software, providing a comprehensive measurement framework and enabling integration with higher-level software. Work at Zurich instruments focuses on the efficient and effective control and readout of qubits. Bring-up, calibration, optimization and benchmarking schemes for various qubit technologies and scaling sizes are addressed in project work. Concrete projects are to be defined in collaboration with the student or researcher.
3	IBM Reasearch Europe - Zurich	-인턴십형 : 2명	* Type of Research : Quantum computing As the European branch of IBM Research, the mission of the IBM Research Europe - Zurich Lab - in addition to pursuing cutting-edge research for tomorrow's information technology - is to cultivate close relationships with academic and industrial partners, be one of the premier places to work for world-class researchers, to promote women in IT and science, and to help drive Europe's innovation agenda. Worldwide interaction and collaboration with internal partners in research, development, industry sectors, and with IBM customers play a vital role in the Zurich Laboratory’s activities. At the same time, IBM researchers are active members of the international scientific community by participating in conferences, and professional associations in a variety of functions. IBM Research Europe - Zurich is also involved in many joint projects with universities throughout Europe, in research programs established by the European Union and the Swiss government, and in cooperation agreements with research institutes of industrial partners. < Project in Quantum Optimization > Optimization is a promising application domain for achieving a quantum advantage with nearterm noisy quantum devices. Possible applications could range from finance, to logistics, to biology. However, there are still many open questions to be answered. One key challenge is how to mitigate the noise present in near-term devices. While there is a lot of research on error mitigation for expectation values, which are crucial, e.g., in quantum chemistry, almost no research has been conducted with a focus on optimization. The goal of this project is to develop, analyze, and demonstrate optimization-specific error mitigation schemes. This may allow to relax requirements introduced by other application domains that are less relevant in optimization, and thus, scale to larger demonstrations of applying quantum computers to relevant optimization problems.

5	Ecole Polytechnique de Lausanne	-프로젝트형 : 1명 -인턴십형 : 1명	* Type of Research : Quantum sensing We study the magnetic properties of single surface adsorbed atoms. Our group was the first to discover single atom magnets, i.e., single atoms that exhibit remanent magnetization and thus enable magnetic information storage in the smallest unit of matter. We now investigate quantum coherence in the magnetic states of single atoms with the aim to create single atom quantum bits with long coherence times. Present records are 1 µs and we aim to go orders of magnitude beyond this. Investigate the phase coherence time of the magnetic quantum state of single atoms and molecules adsorbed onto surfaces. The methods are electron spin resonance taken out with low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy or atomic force microscopy.
6	Basel Precision Instruments GmbH	-프로젝트형 : 2명 -인턴십형 : 2명	* Type of Research : Control Electronics, Low-noise Pre-amplification, Cryogenic Microwave Filtering Solutions Basel Precision Instruments GmbH (BASPI) provides high-end ultra-stable laboratory electronics for quantum and low-temperature applications. At BASPI, our mission is to create better access to the quantum world by reducing noise and increasing resolution.

7	ETH Zurich / Laboratory for Magnetism and Interface Physics	-프로젝트형 : 1명 -인턴십형 : 1명	* Type of Research : Quantum sensing, Single spin read out and manipulation ETH Zürich and its Quantum Center are a leading institution in Switzerland for research in quantum physics and technology. Within this environment, our group carries out research activities focused on the investigation of single spins and few-spin ensembles on surfaces. We engineer the stability and coupling of atoms and molecules and explore novel ways to control and sense their quantum states using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and electron spin resonance (ESR). To this end, we investigate different types of couplings of spins to their environment and use atom-by-atom manipulation to build complex architectures with controlled size and geometry. ESR is a sensitive technique that allows for measuring the magnetic moment, g-factor, and relaxation time of spin systems with high precision. It is widely used to reveal the electronic environment of paramagnetic defects in dielectric crystals as well as to manipulate the electron and nuclear spin states of solid-state and molecular qubits. Recently, the technique was combined with STM to perform ESR with atomic-scale spatial resolution on single spins. In our laboratory, we have implemented ESR-STM using a novel antenna coupling scheme that provides high excitation power levels for the strong driving of individual spins, as well as quantitatively evaluated the ESR driving force for single atoms. The internship is open to postdoctoral researchers or advanced graduate students, who will explore the detection and manipulation of single spins hosted by defects or adsorbates in different material platforms using state-of-the art ESR-STM instrumentation. The main objective is to explore and broaden the applicability of the novel ESR-STM technique to determine the magnetic properties of single spins with high precision and relate the characteristic energy scales and spin relaxation times to their chemical and structural environment. The research will be at the forefront of magnetic resonance and scanning probe microscopy, combining different backgrounds from quantum magnetism to surface chemistry and spectroscopy techniques. Previous experience in magnetic resonance techniques or STM will be positively considered.
8	ETH Zurich / Laboratory for Magnetism and Interface Physics	-프로젝트형 : 1명 -인턴십형 : 1명	* Type of Research : Quantum materials, Quantum sensing ETH Zürich and its Quantum Center are a leading institution in Switzerland for research in quantum physics and technology. Within this environment, our group leads an innovative, on-going project on novel hybrid quantum circuits, which couple and interface photons with magnons, quantized excitations of magnetically ordered spin ensembles. This project aims at realizing circuit quantum electrodynamics with magnonic states. Our implementation of this platform relies on yttrium iron garnet nanoscale magnets, grown epitaxially, and coupled to an on-chip, field-resilient superconducting resonator made of NbTiN. It is envisaged that it will enable the coherent manipulation of magnon states, reacting to the magnetic component of the electromagnetic radiation, notably useful for interfacing quantum microwave devices in cryostats and for quantum detection applications. A postdoctoral researcher with experience in nanofabrication can join our research activity on hybrid magnon-photon circuits. The scholarship recipient will be responsible for the advanced fabrication of these hybrid devices, requiring notably indium bonding between the low-impedance superconducting resonator chips and the specific garnet substrates holding the magnon ensembles. Microwave measurements will be performed on these systems to characterize their quality factor and magnon-photon coupling. A graduate student can participate to our microwave measurements of these systems, from room-temperature characterization of the magnon ensembles towards low temperature experiments, investigating applications of this platform to devices such as magnetically tunable resonators and on-chip microwave circulators, expected to feature an unprecedented tradeoff between performance and compactness. Previous experience in nanofabrication and/or magnetic resonance techniques will be positively considered.
9	Paul Scherrer Institut / ETH Zurich	-프로젝트형 : 3명 (이론연구1명+ 실험연구2명) -인턴십형 : 1명	* Type of Research : Quantum information processing and computing exploiting spins in insulators & semiconductors Our group is based at the Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI), Switzerland’s largest physical science research Lab, and ETHZ. We predict and investigate new ways to control quantum matter out of equilibrium and to process quantum information, especially in quantum magnets and ordinary semiconductors - with an eye also to exploit the unique capabilities of the large photon facilities SLS and SwissFEL. Our coordinated theoretical/experimental team focuses on doped insulators and semiconductors whose potential for quantum technology has long been recognized; the aim is to develop new concepts and driving protocols, both to gain deeper understanding of strongly correlated quantum magnets (such as the well-studied Lithium-fluorides like LiHoF4 or LiTbF4 that realize quantum Ising magnets) and to advance quantum technology in optimal host materials. A key project is to implement our scheme (https://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/PRXQuantum.2.010312) for all-optical, universal quantum computing based on Kramers rare-earth ions doped into insulating crystals; other activities in the group are directed to related schemes involving spin-carrying impurities in Si and Ge. As a doctoral or postdoctoral researcher in our team, you will be directly supervised by the two hosts, Dr. Markus Müller (theory) and Prof. Dr. Gabriel Aeppli (experiment). 1. You will investigate the Floquet engineering of rare earth materials, exploiting laser drives close to a crystal field resonance. This allows to tune the transverse field as well as dipolar and hyperfine interactions to enable ultrafast quenches of quantum fluctuations and, possibly, of hyperfine interactions. You will revisit quantum annealing in the quantum spin glass phase, including the hitherto neglected coupling to nuclear spins, and predict the driven quantum dynamics of domain walls. 2. Having identified suitable candidate materials that promise high coherence of the electro-nuclear magnetic qubits, the task is to analyze, optimize and implement single – and two-qubit gates in the candidate materials, including establishment of the gate fidelities. 3. You will analyze theoretically the behavior of stacked delta-layers of generally different dopants in semiconductors. The aim is to excite one layer to exert fast control on the other layer. You will explore the Rydberg blockade to induce ultrafast switches across metal-insulator and other quantum phase transitions.
10	Paul Scherrer Institut / ETH Zurich	-인턴십형 : 1명	* Type of Research : X-ray Quantum Optics, X-ray Time-Domain Interferometry, Fully Coherent X-ray Laser Our efforts are based at the Paul Scherrer Institut, Switzerland’s largest research institute specializing in large-scale facility research, including the development, build-up and use of accelerator-based photon sources such as the SwissFEL X-ray free-electron laser. Our group uses these sources to investigate and develop coherent control and detection schemes to gain fundamental insights of quantum condensed matter systems and for the purpose of quantum information processing. The proposed project aims at working towards a fully coherent X-ray laser which will open the door for X-ray time-domain interferometry and X-ray quantum optics (see also www.psi.ch/en/science/scientific-highlights/opening-the-door-to-x-ray-quantum-optics). To do so, we pursue two directions: On the one hand, optical laser-based seeding will be implemented locally at the soft X-ray beamline of SwissFEL to generate mode-locked Xray pulses. On the other hand, we have recently also devised a solution for accelerator based generation of coherent copies of X-ray pulses, where the PAL-XFEL at the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory is ideal for an experimental demonstration due to its ultrahigh-resolution self-seeding capabilities. The postdoctoral researcher on this project will be directly supervised by the two hosts, Dr. Simon Gerber and Prof. Dr. Gabriel Aeppli. Research will be conducted in close collaboration with an interdisciplinary team of local accelerator simulation (Dr. Sven Reiche and Dr. Eduard Prat) and laser-seeding (Dr. Alexander Trisorio and Prof. Dr. Adrian Cavalieri) experts, as well as, the respective teams from PAL-XFEL, whom we have already contacted about this project which will serve to cement a substantive long-term scientific relationship between Korea and Switzerland. You will develop theoretical concepts for the experimental exploitation of phase-locked soft and hard X-ray pulses, and calculate expected signal strengths for respective experiments at free-electron lasers, e.g., both SwissFEL and PAL-XFEL. In close collaboration with members of our interdisciplinary team - with expertise inquantum condensed matter physics, X-ray scattering and accelerator physics – you’ll line up and perform the experimental verification of the developed concepts at SwissFEL and PAL-XFEL with the goal of demonstrating the applicability for X-ray time-domain interferometry and X-ray quantum optics experiments.

We combine in-house experiments (transport, magnetometry, thin film growth, micro device fabrication, etc.) with those at large scale research facilities such as at synchrotrons (ARPES, RIXS, XMCD-PEEM) and neutron scattering (neutron diffraction and inelastic neutron scattering) facilities both at PSI and over the world in collaboration with other scientists. Our recent research focus has been in topological materials that host Weyl nodes, which are accidental touching points of non-degenerate bands corresponding to momentum-space monopoles that are sources or sinks of Berry curvature(1). At these Weyl nodes, the dispersion is linear and the system can be effectively described by the Dirac equation and considered as a 3D graphene. In addition, we are interested in flat bands to discover emergent phenomena arising from electron-electron correlations(2). The ideal system to study both Weyl semimetals and flat bands are kagome lattices, which are known to host both. The overall objective of the project is to identify(3) and manipulate(4) topological properties in the family of kagome magnetic Weyl materials in both bulk and thin film form and to search for flat bands in the electronic band structure and magnons(5), which are characteristic in kagome motifs. We study Weyl systems that arise from broken time reversal symmetry, i.e., Weyl systems that exhibit magnetic order such as ferromagnetism(1) or antiferromagnetism, and tune their properties via magnetism(4) or strain. In the case of the graduate student, the task includes epitaxial film growth of kagome magnetic materials using sputtering and characterizing the physical properties to check the crystallinity, composition, and physical properties (magnetic and electronic) and see how they compare to the bulk properties. If the graduate student would rather study bulk kagome materials or van der Waals materials/devices, we also have other projects for the student, which can include fabrication, imaging, and physical measurements of microdevices based on van der Waals materials. In the case of the postdoc, the task includes studying how the electronic properties depend on strain and whether we can tune flat bands to the Fermi level. A postdoc with ARPES, transport, and x-ray based techniques will be suitable for the project but we welcome postdocs with other backgrounds such as with RIXS, XMCD-PEEM, neutron scattering, or microfabrication techniques to work on related projects on kagome systems or van der Waals materials/devices.
12	Paul Scherrer Institut, Quantum Photon Science Group ETH Zürich, Quantum Technologies Group	-프로젝트형 : 1명	* Type of Research : Quantum coherent control, semiconductor physics The Paul Scherrer Institut is the largest physics research institute in Switzerland, and specializes in large scale facility research, including a synchrotron (Swiss Light Source), an x-ray free electron laser (SwissFEL) and others. The Quantum Photon Science Group, which is part of the Photon Science Division, uses these sources to investigate and develop quantum coherent control and detection of solid-state systems for the purpose of quantum information processing. The proposed project concerns the coherent control and readout of the electronic states of single donors (such as phosphorus and arsenic) in group IV semiconductors, namely silicon and germanium. These donors are solid state, low-energy analogs of the hydrogen atom, and their electronic states resemble the Rydberg states of the hydrogen electron (and also of alkali atoms). Consequently, their dimensions scale as the square of their principal quantum number. Controlling these states with THz light leads to large spatial changes in the electron wave function, making it a solid-state analog of atom traps. The main advantage is that there is no need to actively trap the free atoms. The project is run in collaboration with University College London, where single donors are placed inside silicon and germanium hosts with atomic precision. At PSI we use FTIR spectroscopy, magneto-transport at dilution fridge temperatures and different x-ray probes to investigate these samples, as well as time-resolved and coherent experiments at the infrared free electron laser FELIX in the Netherlands. Additionally, we are developing table-top pulsed THz sources in order to bring these measurement capabilities in-house. The post-doctoral researcher will conduct optical and electrical transport experiments using a dilution fridge, phase-locked data acquisition, quantum cascade laser sources and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry to control and manipulate isolated donors in Group IV semiconductors, 1D wires and single-electron transistors, for the purpose of constructing a quantum information processing toolset. They will be expected to summarize and present their results in internal forums and external conferences and to write them up for publication. In the lab, they will have the task of developing and improving of experimental systems, as well as supervising and guiding of PhD and Masters students on a day to day basis. The postdoctoral researcher would be supervised directly by Dr. Guy Matmon and advised academically by Prof. Gabriel Aeppli.
13	ETH Zurich	-프로젝트형 : 1명 -인턴십형 : 2명	* Type of Research : Quantum computation and simulation ETH Zurich is the most renowned universities in the world and occupies top positions in university rankings (Top 9 in QS world University rankings). Our Experimental Quantum Engineering (EQE) group is an atomic physics and quantum optics research group in the Department of Physics at ETH Zurich. Our research focuses on using neutral atoms and their Rydberg states for quantum simulation, quantum computation, and quantum nonlinear optics. Our group seeks highly motivated students and postdocs to build a new architecture for quantum computation and simulation, and explore open questions in quantum many-body systems. Our experimental platform is based on dual-type dual-element atom arrays, which consist of an array of individually trapped Yb atoms, and an array of small Rb atomic ensembles. Arrays of individual atoms have demonstrated its great scalability, fidelity and programmability for implementing quantum technologies. In our group, we aim for harnessing the controllable interactions between Yb single atoms and Rb atomic ensembles to realize individual addressability and non-demolish readout. In addition, we developed new schemes to generate many-body entanglement, and to perform stabilizer measurements. These schemes enable the study of out-of-equilibrium quantum dynamics, quantum information processing protocols based on mid-circuit measurement, and implementation of quantum error correction.
