Internship | Correlated double sensing for spin-qubits – TNO – Delft

Jobid=628161589650793409 (0.0996)

About this position

Within the Quantum Technology department, we are working on developing quantum computation, quantum sensing and quantum communication. In this position you will be working on a project that develops demonstrators for spin-qubit computation devices. The team consists of specialists in the fields of design, fabrication, modelling and measurement of spin qubit systems. In this position you will work on both the modelling and measurement with a focus on the readout of the qubits. What will be your role?

Within the project you will perform simulations and measurements on spin-qubit devices. You will focus on the concept of correlated double sensing (CDS). This technique can be used to reduce 1/f noise in measurements. However, for spin-qubit systems the margin for improvement is small since we have additional long-term information on the noise behavior. You will create a model for noise and compensation techniques and then validate the model by performing measurements on a spin-qubit system. In this project you will learn:

  • The concept of CDS and spin-qubit measurements
  • Developing models and simulations for the noise in Python
  • Perform measurements on a spin-qubit device
  • Report on your work in a presentation or paper
  • What we expect from you

    For the internship we require the following:

  • Master student in physics, computer science (or related)
  • Knowledge of quantum mechanics or simulations
  • Experience in programming (Python is preferred)
  • Capable of working independently and communication to multiple team members
  • Internship duration of 4 to 9 months
  • What you'll get in return

    An internship at TNO means working in an environment where substance and impact are central. You will become part of a knowledge organisation where research and practice come together, and where experts collaborate on solutions to current societal and technological challenges.

    Your internship is a period in which you can discover what suits you, where your strengths lie and what you would like to learn next. You are part of a professional working environment, gain insight into how things work in practice, and have the opportunity to build experience that goes beyond this internship alone. For many students, an internship is therefore also a first step in discovering whether TNO could be a potential next step after graduation.

    In addition, we offer you:

  • A professional and innovative internship environment in which you actively contribute to societal and technological challenges, working alongside leading experts in your field.
  • Personal and dedicated supervision, with focus on your learning objectives, development and study assignment.
  • Room to develop: you gain relevant work experience, develop both your subject‑specific and professional skills, and build a valuable network.
  • Use of a laptop and the facilities you need to perform your work effectively.
  • A monthly internship allowance of € for a full-time internship, for MSc, BSc and vocational education (MBO) students.
  • Up to eight hours of leave per internship month for a full-time internship, allowing you to balance your internship with your studies and personal life.
  • A contribution towards travel expenses if you are not entitled to a student travel card.
  • A free membership to the network for young colleagues, where you can meet other TNO colleagues and participate in sports activities, professional and personal development activities, and social events such as the annual ski trip.
