Do you want to bring quantum technology into action by building a quantum key distribution network in Denmark? Then we have a great opportunity for you!

Quantum key distribution (QKD) is a quantum technology that enables data encryption with future proof security in contrast to current cryptographic methods which can be broken by quantum computers. This makes QKD an important technology to protect governmental communication, critical infrastructure and financial data.

Our motivation is to deploy our continuous-variable QKD systems to establish a metropolitan and a long-distance quantum key distribution network in Denmark and to test possible governmental and other use-cases. The project is part of the EuroQCI initiative of the European Union.

Our QKD system QTREX is based on continuous variable technology with a working principle similar to telecommunication systems. Here you can find more information about our system:

The job
Your responsibility will be to develop software for our quantum key distribution system QTREX. You will

  • interface hardware and develop a software controlling the key distribution process and managing the subsystems
  • integrate and test externally developed QKD data processing software (Rust) and contribute to modules.
  • develop a monitoring interface (SNMP)
  • continue the development of our information reconciliation library (C++ and CUDA)
  • develop a graphical user interface for displaying basic system information
  • work with a team of engineers with backgrounds in electrical, quantum and telecommunication engineering
  • help with administrative tasks towards EU

Our expectations of you
You should have a strong background in developing software in some of the following languages and frameworks:

  • Python
  • Rust
  • C++
  • Cuda


Furthermore you should be familiar with Linux, Linux services, dbus, a GUI toolkit (for instance Qt) and git.

Moreover, you should be highly motivated and dedicated to develop Europe’s best QKD system, and you should be willing to work in larger teams.
