Master Thesis - Design & Implementation of High-speed Electronics for time synchronization in QKD

In order to distribute generated secure quantum keys with space-based systems, the precise assignment of temporal events between sender and receiver is crucial.

A technology demonstrator breadboard for a free-space time basis synchronization below 100ps is currently build up.

Its photonic part shall now be complemented with high speed electronics to transmit accurate timing information in very low SNR situations.

Your Tasks

Refinement of technical requirements and performance specifications in line with available technology concepts for time synchronization
Design and layout of the digital and analog electronics of a technology demonstrator breadboard
Firmware implementation of the digital electronics on a FPGA
Electronic component selection and PCB design.
Start of setting up the Breadboard and establishing a first synchronization between sender and receiver
Characterization, evaluation and documentation of the breadboard electrical design and performance limitations

Your Qualifications

Student in electrical engineering, technical informatics or similar fields
Hands on experience in FPGA firmware design (for example in VHDL) with successful implementations in signal processing and high speed electronics
First practical experience in an experimental lab environment
Ideally experience in analog circuit design for feedback loops
High motivation, proactive working approach and strong sense of responsibility
