Description of the research topic:
The candidate will study point defects acting as quantum bits in diamond and related materials. The point defects will be characterized by either advanced density functional theory calculations or experimental techniques based on optically detected magnetic resonance. Local computer facilities with scientific program packages and laboratory equipments are available to conduct this research. By exploring the magneto-optical properties of point defects in solids, one can utilize them for single photon sources, single quantum bits for quantum information processing applications, or nanometer spatial resolution ultrasensitive sensors for biology, space industry or materials science.
Required language skills: excellent enlgish Further requirements: solid background in quantum mechanics and solid state physics; either computational skills in programming or experience in magnetic resonance and/or optical spectroscopies
