Performance and Reliability Analysis of Indium Phosphide-Based Packaged Quantum Entropy Sources

Description

This project involves direct collaboration with photonic engineers and the product development team to conduct performance and reliability analysis of indium phosphide-based quantum entropy sources. The research includes support in electro-optical testing of N1 photonic chips and the design and improvement of test devices for the characterization of integrated circuits and optical components. Key tasks involve the development of automated control algorithms, the analysis of experimental results for technical problem solving, and the detailed documentation of the results for stakeholders.

Background

Ivan graduated in Physics from the University of Barcelona (2021-2025) and is currently studying for a Master's degree in Photonics at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia. He has previous research experience thanks to an internship and the completion of his Final Degree Project at ICN2, specifically within the "Nanob2a" research group. His academic background has allowed him to develop solid analytical skills to interpret complex physical phenomena related to the propagation and interference of light.

Motivation

His motivation stems from an interest in applying the fundamentals of quantum mechanics in high-impact practical environments, such as quantum cryptography and communications using integrated photonic circuits. He is particularly motivated by the opportunity to work in a collaborative and innovative environment where he can delve deeper into the study of spontaneous emission and quantum random number generation. Ivan seeks to connect the underlying physical principles with the cutting-edge technological development being carried out at Quside.
