Research Associate in Quantum Optics and Optical Spectroscopy of Two-Dimensional Materials

Purpose of Role

The Quantum Photonics Laboratory (QPL) at Heriot-Watt University is an internationally recognised research group working at the interface of quantum photonics, condensed matter physics, and two-dimensional materials. The group comprises approximately 25 researchers, including academic staff, postdoctoral researchers, and PhD students, and conducts research spanning quantum light sources, strongly correlated quantum materials, van der Waals heterostructures, moiré materials, and spin-based quantum technologies. 

The laboratory operates state-of-the-art facilities for cryogenic optical spectroscopy, quantum optics, nanofabrication, and automated assembly of complex two-dimensional material heterostructures. Researchers within the group collaborate extensively with leading academic and industrial partners internationally, providing an exciting and highly interdisciplinary research environment.
