PhD Student in Experimental Quantum-Optical Characterization of Quantum Light Sources
DTU Electro searching for a talented and motivated PhD candidate to develop and characterize novel sources of quantum light for optical quantum computers. The project takes place in the Quantum Light Sources group at DTU Electro, where they design, model, fabricate and test sources of single photons or entangled photon pairs. These are essential components for optical quantum computers and quantum networks, where one bit of information is encoded in the quantum state of a single photon. You will be part of a team of 10-12 people between senior staff, PostDocs and PhD/Master students that are trying to establish the indispensable building blocks for the quantum technology of tomorrow.
Phd in Nanomechanical orchestra for gas sensing and quantum optomechanics
This project aims at the realization, investigation and application of ultrasensitive and versatile optomechanical instruments for gas sensing and quantum optomechanics. The project builds on recent progress realized by the group regarding the design, fabrication and application of nanostructured silicon nitride thin films. It will involve nanofabrication in the local iNANO cleanroom (Electron beam lithography, atomic force microscopy, etc.) and optical techniques (e.g. interferometry) as well as the simulation of the optical and mechanical properties of suspended nanostructures (using e.g. Finite Element Methods). Potential instruments to be investigated in the optomechanical orchestra will be nanodrum microcavities and nano-guitars, which will be applied for various sensing applications (pressure, temperature, refractive index, label-free molecule detection, etc.) and fundamental investigations of radiation pressure.
