Postdoc Position in Experimental Quantum Engineering (EQE) Group

100%, Zurich, fixed-term

The Experimental Quantum Engineering (EQE) group at ETH Zurich and the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) invites applications for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to work at the interface of quantum optics, quantum information science and quantum many-body physics.

Led by Prof. Wenchao Xu, the EQE group develops programmable quantum systems based on neutral atoms and Rydberg interactions to advance both fundamental quantum science and next-generation quantum technologies. Our research combines atomic physics, quantum control, and scalable architectures for fault-tolerant quantum computation, hybrid quantum simulation, and quantum-enhanced sensing.

Project background

Our group addresses key challenges in quantum science by building and exploiting hybrid quantum systems consisting of individually controlled atoms and atomic ensembles.

Current research directions include:

Demonstrating scalable architectures for fault-tolerant quantum information processing, featuring reconfigurable local control, rapid quantum non-demolition readout, and fast error-syndrome extraction
Developing strong atom–light interfaces to enable quantum interconnects and modular quantum systems
Investigating non-equilibrium quantum many-body dynamics and quantum information dynamics in programmable atom arrays

Job description

We seek a postdoctoral researcher to contribute to a new experimental platform based on dual-type tweezer atom arrays.

The project aims to demonstrate the unique advantages for:

Reconfigurable local quantum control
Rapid, non-demolition state detection of both single- and multi-qubit states
Novel phenomena in quantum dynamics arising from the interplay with measurement

These capabilities enable new routes toward fault-tolerant quantum computation and open exciting opportunities for exploring frontier problems in quantum information dynamics.

The successful candidate will:

Design, build, and operate state-of-the-art neutral-atom experiments
Demonstrate novel quantum control and measurement protocols
Lead research projects and mentor students
Collaborate closely with researchers at ETH Zurich, PSI, and international partners

More information about the project and the group can be found on our website.

Starting date: flexible in 2026
Employment: full-time

Profile

PhD in physics or a related field
Strong background in experimental AMO physics or quantum optics
Experience with cold atoms, optical tweezers, lasers, or quantum control techniques is highly desirable
Strong interest in neutral-atom quantum technologies and many-body quantum physics
Ability to work both independently and collaboratively
Good communication skills in English (German is a plus)

Workplace

We offer

A highly creative and collaborative research environment
Freedom to develop independent research directions
Access to world-class infrastructure at ETH Zurich and PSI
Opportunities for interdisciplinary and international collaborations
Competitive salary and benefits

We value diversity and sustainability

In line with our values, ETH Zurich encourages an inclusive culture. We promote equality of opportunity, value diversity and nurture a working and learning environment in which the rights and dignity of all our staff and students are respected.
