Bachelor/Master Thesis Devel. & Impl. of Polarization Synchronization Algorithm for Microcontrollers

Satellite-based quantum key distribution (QKD) offers a paradigm-changing solution to the key distribution problem, enabling a new way of provably secure communication, especially over long distances.

The QKD design at OHB is based on polarization encoded quantum bits (Qubits). To ensure correct assignment of transmitted and received polarization via a polarization rotating channel, a high-performance synchronization is decisive.

Your Tasks

Gain understanding of the fundamentals of Quantum Key Distribution in general and polarization encoded qubits in particular
Development of an algorithm for the detection of unwanted polarization rotations of light between a transmitter and receiver unit and their realtime compensation by means of selective control of polarization elements in an optical setup
Microcontrollerbased implementation with Python or C/C++
Assessment, evaluation and optimization of the existing setup

Your Qualifications

Student in physics, electrical engineering, quantum engineering, technical informatics or similar
Practical experience in microcontroller based programming, testing and debugging
Familiar with Python, C/C++ and LabView
Confident working in a labenvironment
High motivation, proactive working approach and strong sense of responsibility
