Job Description

Job Title:
Quantum Researcher Location:
Plano, TX Duration:
Long Term About CTC:
Founded in 1996, CTC is a global IT services, Consulting and Business Solutions partner dedicated to helping organizations innovate, optimize, and grow. With over 2,000 professionals worldwide, we support more than 100 clients in transforming complex challenges into lasting competitive advantages.
Description:
Job description (Duty & Responsibility):
  • Design and implement quantum photonic devices and components, especially related to quantum communication, single photon generation, entanglement, and low count measurement techniques. Design assembly of components into subsystems.
  • Conduct research on quantum information and quantum communication techniques such as squeezed light, quantum interference, and mode decomposition.
  • Investigate novel methodologies for applied quantum techniques outside of information applications.
  • Design and execute rigorous experiments to characterize quantum photonics devices and components under various environmental conditions (temperature, vibration, magnetic fields) to ensure robustness.
  • Contribute to efforts to establish quantum information test bench, including the development of standardized calibration and automated measurement system. Develop and test single photon sources and implementation into larger systems. Optimize system performance while maintaining quantum state.
  • Ability to work within and contribute to cross-disciplinary research teams with key deliverables including prototypes, intellectual property, and publications (an active interest in publishing is highly desirable).
  • Willingness to participate in, support, and contribute to work-place safety culture and activities.
Requirements:
Required minimum education and experience:
  • Ph.
D. in Physics, Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering, Optical Engineering, or a related field.
Requirements:
    Quantum Systems:
    Deep understanding of entanglement, mode decomposition, nonlinear generation of states and spin physics
      Optical Systems:
      Proficiency in laser systems, optical design, precision coupling, free-space alignment, and photon detection
        Instrumentation:
        Hands-on experience with chip-scale photonics testing, precision fiber alignment, instrument coordination/synchronization, and rigorous data validation.
          Programming:
          Strong skills in Python, MATLAB, or similar for data analysis and instrument control
          Scientific Writing:
          Clear communication of results to internal research teams using graphs, mathematics, etc.
          Preferred Skills:
          Simulation & Design:
          Background in integrated photonics design and Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) simulation tools (e.g., Lumerical, COMSOL, CST).
          Electronics:
          Familiarity with high-speed electronics design, PCB layout, and optoelectronic packaging.
          Fabrication:
          Experience with nanofabrication techniques (e-beam lithography, etching) is a plus.
