About the Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) The Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) in Singapore brings together physicists, computer scientists and engineers to do basic research on quantum physics and to build devices based on quantum phenomena. Experts in this new discipline of quantum technologies are applying their discoveries in computing, communications, and sensing. CQT is hosted by the National University of Singapore. The Centre also has staff at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, and the Singapore University of Technology and Design. With some 200 staff and students, it offers a friendly and international work environment Learn more about CQT at https://www.cqt.sg/ Job Description The Barrett group at CQT is the world's leading laboratory developing ¹⁷⁶Lu⁺ as an optical clock species. Lutetium-176 offers exceptionally low sensitivity to blackbody radiation shifts and a highly favourable systematic uncertainty budget, making it a compelling candidate for next-generation optical timekeeping. Our programme isactively pushing towards multi-ion clock architectures — including linear ion crystals and multiplexed trap arrays —to surpass the quantum projection noise limits of single-ion operation and achieve unprecedented clock stability atshort averaging times. A key aim of the programme is to translate this technology into a commercialisable turnkeysystem for deployment at Singapore's National Metrology Centre (NMC). We are seeking an exceptional Senior Scientist to lead experimental research within our ¹⁷⁶Lu⁺ optica…
