About Us:




Quanastra is deep-tech company developing indigenous quantum and photonic technologies and having successfully completed a seed fund raise, we are entering an exciting phase of growth. We are now inviting applications for the position of Quantum Communication Researcher to work on experimental quantum key distribution (QKD), which can be put into the market as a full-fledged product with help from Quanastra’s core team.

We are particularly interested in researchers who already have new QKD product ideas in hand and are looking for the right direction and environment to take them forward. At Quanastra, the idea is to provide an environment where concepts can move beyond simulations and optical-table experiments into working prototypes, devices and, eventually, deployable quantum hardware.

Your Role
The successful candidate will take a leading role in developing Quanastra's research programme in experimental quantum communication and quantum networks. The exact research programme is intentionally flexible. We are interested in cand
