Applied Physics and Electro-Optics Intern

Overview

• Quantum computing has been making significant steps over the last years and is gradually making it’s way towards becoming a reality.
• For Nvidia, it is necessary to prepare for this age and examine how our datacenters become ready for the introduction of this revolutionary technology.
• Nvidia Advanced Research Group is seeking a talented and dedicated student to join their quantum optics team to support Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) activities.
• The work will include establishing new optical setups, testing of future components, circuits and devices and engagement in adapting solutions for the post quantum future.
• What you will be doing: Designing, realizing and testing of QKD and other optical setups in the labs Assembling fiber based electro-optical (EO) setups Testing and characterization of EO components & Photonic Integrated Chip (PICs) Drafting of laboratory measurement reports Involvement in examination of cutting-edge technology for practical applications What we need to see: MSc or PhD student in the field of Electro-optics, quantum optics, physics or similar Hands-on lab experience with either free-space or fiber optical setups and related measurements instruments Knowledge & understanding of EO components & working principles At least 2-3 years left until graduation Availability to work at least a 50 % position at Nvidia labs in Yokneam Knowledge of Python, MATLAB, or other data analysis tools.
• Good communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with teams members Drive, initiative, and independence Ways to stand out from the crowd: Familiarity with quantum optics and QKD protocols.
• Understanding of optical detection methods & detectors– SPADs, Coherent detection, etc Lab experience with electro-optic components such as modulators, VOA, polarization correction methods, fiber coupling & RF probing.
