PhD in Entanglement Generation and Routing in Multi-Node Quantum Networks

Introduction
Are you passionate about building an entanglement-based quantum internet?

In this PhD project, you will design an entanglement source, a routing architecture, protocols, and set up a testbed that distributes and routes entangled photons in the presence of classical telecom traffic in multi-node quantum networks.

Job Description
Efficient distribution and routing of entanglement are indispensable for quantum‑secure communication (e.g., advanced QKD networks), distributed quantum computing, quantum‑secure enterprise connectivity and quantum teleportation services across metropolitan or regional distances. However, unique features of quantum information, such as non-amplification, no-cloning, or measurement without altering the quantum states, make it difficult to re-use the architecture and protocols of classical telecom networks for quantum communication and networking. In contrast to classical optical signals, quantum states are extremely fragile and degrade rapidly due to loss, noise, and decoherence, especially over long distances. As a result, conventional telecom solutions such as optical amplification, regeneration, and routing cannot be directly applied to quantum networks. Nevertheless, recent advances in quantum state generation and measurement have opened new opportunities for the development of a quantum network architecture and protocols for routing and teleportation as a critical enabler for quantum networks.

In this PhD project, you will investigate the time-bin entanglement generation and detection, architecture, and protocols of entanglement routing in a multi-node quantum network. Additionally, you will investigate the coexistence of classical telecom traffic and quantum signals, effect of impairments, such noise, crosstalk, etc. The project will combine theoretical and simulation studies and validate them with experimental studies. The project will leverage KPN’s expertise to address real‑world constraints—including scalability, interoperability, reliability, and manageability—while developing the telecom‑grade quantum networks.

The PhD position is fully funded by our industry partner (KPN) in Smart Optical Networks Lab (SONL) of the Electro-Optical Communication group. The research activity of SONL covers a wide range of topics, including network design and software control, reconfigurable interconnects for telecom, datacenters, AI clusters, and quantum networks, down to heterogeneous photonic integrated circuits and systems for enabling low-latency, fast network reconfiguration in real systems. Additionally, we focus on innovative solutions for switching and routing in secure quantum-optical networks. The ECO group covers a wide range of topics from the Photonic layer to the Application layer of the communication system, and we also play a key role in the Casimir Institute at TU/e, and within the PhotonDelta and QuantumDelta growth fund program. Besides research you will also contribute to education within our group and the Department of Electrical Engineering and mentor BSc and MSc students during their research projects.

Job Requirements

• A master’s degree (or an equivalent university degree) in (applied) physics, electrical engineering, or related subjects.
• Solid background in quantum optics, quantum mechanics, and photonics.
• Knowledge of programming languages such as Python and MATLAB.
• Prior experience with setting up quantum communication and network experiments is an asset.
• A background in Electronics is a plus.
• Ability to work independently and in a larger team.
• Fluent spoken and written English (C1 Level).

Conditions of Employment
A meaningful job in a dynamic and ambitious university, in an interdisciplinary setting and within an international network. You will work on a beautiful, green campus within walking distance of the central train station. In addition, we offer you:

• Full-time employment for four years, with an intermediate assessment after nine months. You will spend a minimum of 10% of your four-year employment on teaching tasks, with a maximum of 15% per year of your employment.
• Salary and benefits (such as a pension scheme, paid pregnancy and maternity leave, partially paid parental leave) in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities, scale P (min. € 3,059 - max. € 3,881).
• A year-end bonus of 8.3% and annual vacation pay of 8%.
• High-quality training programs and other support to grow into a self-aware, autonomous scientific researcher. At TU/e we challenge you to take charge of your own learning process.
• An excellent technical infrastructure, on-campus children's day care and sports facilities.
• Unlimited access to the modern on‑campus TU/e Student Sports Center at an exceptionally affordable rate.
• An allowance for commuting, working from home and internet costs.
• A Staff Immigration Team and a tax compensation scheme (the 30% facility) for international candidates.
