We are looking for an enthusiastic PhD candidate to join the Taminiau Lab investigating the high-fidelity and scalable control of qubits based on spins associated to atomic defects in solids, including in diamond and silicon carbide. One key challenge towards larger quantum networks for quantum communication and distributed quantum computation is to realize extremely high-fidelity quantum control, in ways that are compatible with scaling to hundreds to thousands of qubits. In this research, we aim to realize high-fidelity control through a combination of quantum gate design and precise underst

The rapid development of large offshore wind farms is essential for the transition towards a sustainable energy system. However, as wind turbines are installed increasingly close together, they interact through turbulent wind wakes. These wakes reduce the energy production of downstream turbines and can increase structural loading, creating a major challenge for the efficient and reliable operation of large wind farms.

Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) are used more and more used to overcome data bottlenecks, offering massive improvements in energy efficiency and bandwidth and opening up new applications. They are critical to the scaling of modern data centers, telecommunications networks, and advanced sensing applications in healthcare, mobility, and agrifood. This PhD position is focusing on the foundation of the PIC: the epitaxial growth of the functional materials. These can be engineered to e.g. emit or amplify light, transport light on the chip of efficiently modulate the phase of the light. The proj

How can we control light in space, time, and frequency to make photonic systems faster, more compact, and more versatile? In this PhD project, you will develop frequency-gradient metasurfaces for ultrafast beam steering, temporal focusing, and self-torque, combining design, nanofabrication, and femtosecond experiments. Job Description Current photonic components can shape light with remarkable spatial precision, but controlling its spatial, spectral, and temporal structure simultaneously remains far more difficult. This limits how fast, compact, and versatile optical systems can become. In thi

What new physics emerges when a THz interface changes on the timescale of the wave itself? In this PhD project, you will develop dynamically modulated THz interfaces and explore frequency conversion, beam steering, and nonreciprocal propagation through electromagnetic design, device development, and THz experiments. Job Description The sub-THz regime is emerging as an important platform for future wireless communication, radar, and sensing, but controlling these waves dynamically remains a major challenge. Current interfaces can shape a THz wave in space, or tune their response in time, but do
