Not funded by a EU programme Reference Number RIF. DIETI 09/2026 Is the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? No /ph3Offer Description /h3ulliThe research position is related to the developments of the activities to engineer a testbed platform for quantum networks. /li /ulpIn particular, the experimental research activity will focus on the implementation, characterization, and validation of a metropolitan quantum network based on optical fibre, aimed at interconnecting remote quantum processors and quantum-network nodes.



The activities will address the transmission of qubits and the generation and distribution of entangled states across different network nodes. The research programme will also include the development and validation of solutions for network contro and orchestration according to a hardware-agnostic approach, aimed at managing and coordinating network resources independently of the specific technology of the underlying devices. These activities will contribute to the definition of a modular, interoperable, and scalable experimental platform capable of supporting the execution and evaluation of advanced protocols for the future Quantum Internet. The researcher will contribute to the planning of experimental activities, the analysis and interpretation of the obtained results, and the drafting of papers for publication in intemational peer-reviewedjournals. The researcher will also contribute to the dissemination of the research results.Under the supe
