Job Title:

Quantum Photonic Simulation and QKD Integration

Work Type:

Remote

Experience:

3 to 4 Yrs Writing & Coding Experienced /Fresher Not Eligible

Hiring:

immediate Joiner Same Day

Job Types:

Freelance, Volunteer

Job Purpose:

To conduct software-based simulation and integration of quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols with a pre-designed 2D photonic model (microring resonator + plasmonic structure), using COMSOL-derived parameters. The researcher will develop, validate, and optimize

QKD protocol simulations

, focusing on

quantum channel modeling

, protocol-level evaluation, and secure key rate analysis.

Required Qualification:

Master's or PhD in Physics, Photonics, Quantum Engineering, Electrical/Electronic Engineering.

Strong focus on quantum optics, quantum information, or photonic device modelling preferred.

Tools to be Familiar:

Python (mandatory) -- strong coding and data analysis skills

QuTiP (Quantum Toolbox in Python) -- quantum state modeling, operator application

Advantageous: NetSquid, SimulaQron, MATLAB, Lumerical FDTD (for cross-referencing COMSOL results)

Required Experience:

Prior work or academic research in quantum optics or photonics simulation.

Hands-on experience in modelling quantum channels, simulating QKD protocols (BB84, E91).

Proven ability to analyse simulation data and produce technical reports.

Required Knowledge/Skills:

Solid understanding of quantum communication protocols (BB84, E91).

Ability to model photonic device effects (loss, phase shift, decoherence) on quantum states.

Proficiency in coding quantum simulations, applying quantum operators, and interpreting results (QBER, key rate).

Strong problem-solving skills, documentation, and communication abilities.

Role & Responsibility

Develop a software simulation workflow to integrate COMSOL-derived 2D photonic model parameters (transmission, phase shift, loss) with QKD protocol simulation.

Build quantum optical channel models using

Python + QuTiP

(or equivalent).

Implement and validate

QKD protocol logic

(BB84 mandatory; E91 optional).

Analyze system performance: compute QBER, secure key rate, impact of device imperfections.

Provide recommendations for optimizing photonic model parameters for QKD compatibility.

Deliver clean, well-documented code and a final technical report summarizing methodology, results, and insights.

Collaborate remotely and provide regular updates through agreed communication channels.
