PhD position in Experimental Quantum Opto-Mechanics

jobbeskrivelse:
DTU Physics is seeking a PhD student for 3 years to work on a project on interfacing non-classical light with mechanical oscillators for quantum information processing and quantum sensing. The project will be hosted in the section for Quantum Physics and Information Technology (QPIT) at DTU Physics and is carried out in collaboration with Palacky University, Olomouc, Czech Republic. In QPIT we conduct widely recognized research within a range of diverse topics such as continuous-variable quantum information processing, quantum enhanced sensing, and engineering of solid state quantum systems. Responsibilities and tasks The successful candidates will be part of a team dedicated to the design and development of solid state platforms for quantum information processing and sensing. Some of the tasks involved are: •experimental planning, design, and implementation, •development of electronics in close collaboration with our electronic engineer, •theoretical and numerical simulation and analysis, •programming of experimental control software. A limited amount of supervision of student projects will also be expected. Qualifications The PhD candidate should have a master degree within optics/photonics or physics or a similar degree with an equivalent academic level. He or she should be highly motivated and dedicated to work on challenging experiments. A strong background in experimental quantum optics is required: The candidate should have passed courses in quantum mechanics and quantum optics with a good result, and he/she should have significant experience in experimental quantum optical laboratory work. We expect the successful candidate to have very good communication skills in English, to be able to work closely with other team members, and we highly value scientific curiosity and creativity. Approval and Enrolment The scholarships for the PhD degree are subject to academic approval, and the candidates will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes of DTU. For information about the general requirements for enrolment and the general planning of the scholarship studies, please see the DTU PhD Guide. Assessment The assessment of the applicants will be made by Section Leader, Professor Ulrik Lund Andersen. We offer QPIT's vision is to understand, engineer and control complex quantum systems of light and matter, and to exploit these systems for quantum information processing and quantum metrology. We are a medium-sized, highly international research group of students and staff with diverse backgrounds. We have a friendly and dynamic research environment with close, daily interaction among all group members and strong collaborations with many academic and industrial partners. Technical support is excellent with electronics and process engineers embedded in the section and a large capacity, skilled mechanical workshop at the Department. We are situated just north of Copenhagen at the Lyngby campus of DTU, one of the leading technical universities of Northern Europe, where we enjoy newly renovated office and lab space. Salary and terms of employment The appointments will be based on the collective agreement with the Confederation of Professional Associations. The allowance will be agreed with the relevant union. The employment of the PhD student will be for 3 years starting from December 15th 2015.
