About this role
About the role Applications are invited for a Research Associate position available in the Centre for Cold Matter , part of the Matter Community with the Department of Physics. You will produce independent and original research, opening new frontiers in quantum computing with ultracold atoms and molecules trapped in optical tweezer arrays. You will collaborate with other research groups and the National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) in the UK and with our research partners from across the world. What you would be doing You will start on an experiment where laser-cooled atoms and molecules are trapped in the same apparatus. You will realise dipolar interactions between molecules and atoms in Rydberg states, and implement fast entangling gates and ancilla-based mid-circuit readout, demonstrating foundational elements for practical quantum error correction. You will work within a vibrant and collaborative environment alongside other experts in ultracold molecules, many-body physics, ...
