Description of the Team
The internship will be conducted in the Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) department ofQuandela. The PICs team works on the production and development of the optical processors of Quandela quantum computers, having in mind performance and scalability.
In detail, the team members carry out electromagnetic and thermal simulations to estimate the performance of the integrated components, prepare PICs layouts to be fabricated in collaboration with external foundries, and take care of both the characterization and the packaging of the fabricated devices.
Your Key Responsibilities
Depending on your experience and the duration of the internship, your work may involve deepening the understanding of existing building blocks, exploring new functionalities or tools, or developing advanced modeling approaches for testing. In particular, the goal of this internship will be to either bridge the gap between fabrication and design, or to evaluate new architecture for quantum processing unit (QPU).
In this role you will be using standard electromagnetic simulations and/or circuit modelling by means of commercial software like Lumerical FDTD, FDE, EME or free-tools (gdsfactory, tidy3d, meow, sax..).
