Quandela is a European start up that provides photonic quantum computers that are modular, scalable, energy-efficient and accessible both on the cloud and on premise. Our team specialises in the development of both software and hardware solutions for a variety of quantum applications. We offer a wide range of services, from developing the most efficient and brightest single photons sources, to creating algorithms for quantum computers and providing cloud quantum computing solutions.
You will focus on modeling integrated photonic building blocks (BB), which are crucial for Quandela's next-generation quantum photonic processors.
Depending on your experience and the length of the internship, you may work on deepening the understanding of existing building blocks or exploring new functionalities.
This role includes conducting standard electromagnetic simulations (such as FDTD, mode solver, or EME) and/or thermal simulations using commercial software like Lumerical.
Examples of building blocks that may be studied include:
· Integrated photonics filters/switch
· High-speed modulators
· Integrated single-photon detectors
· Modelling of passive components such Directional couplers, ring resonators, Mach-Zehnder interferometers, compact bent waveguides using Inverse design optimizations
You may also participate in designing layouts for building blocks or test cells for fabrication, utilizing a custom library currently being developed at Quandela, along with tools like gdsfactory and KLayout.
