PhD Position: Quantum-Enhanced Two-Photon Processes
University of Insubria (Como, Italy)
Supervisors: Prof. Lucia Caspani & Prof. Matteo Clerici (lucia.caspani@uninsubria.it, matteo.clerici@uninsubria.it)
Based at Insubria University, on the shore of Lake Como in Italy, the Quantum and Ultrafast Photonics (QUP) laboratory is at the forefront of research on quantum states of light, with over fifteen years of experience in quantum and nonlinear optics. Our expertise spans the generation of entangled photons in nonlinear media and their characterization, ultrafast nonlinear optics, innovative quantum imaging techniques, and advancements in integrated quantum photonics.
We are currently seeking applicants for a postdoctoral or staff scientist position (more than 5 years post PhD) in experimental optics with a focus on whispering gallery resonators for studying non-Hermitian physics, nonlinear optics, and quantum sensing. The position will be based in the Cavity and Sensing Group of the Light-Matter Interactions for Quantum Technologies (LMI-QT) Unit (https://groups.oist.jp/light) run by Sile Nic Chormaic at OIST Graduate University, Okinawa, Japan.
POSITION DESCRIPTION
> Fundamental study of nonlinear optics on the nanoscale
> Real-life applications to spectroscopy and microscopy
> Breakthrough research at the University of Technology Sydney
A PhD scholarship is available for the right candidate, working on Nanoscale Nonlinear Optics at the University of Technology, Sydney. The project involves the design, fabrication and experimental characterisation of smaller-than-wavelength optical resonators and 2D-material based photonic devices to enable efficient wavelength conversion.
The project is to carry out theoretical research on the physics of atoms coupled to optical photons in waveguides. This research is conducted within the ErBeStA-consortium which is formed by European experimental and theoretical research groups.
The Center for Optics and Photonics (CEFOP), www.cefop.cl , funded by the Basal Program for Scientific and Technological Centers of Excellence (CONICYT), is calling for four postdoctoral research positions in experimental and theoretical nonlinear optics and quantum information. Successful candidates will work at the recently inaugurated nonlinear optics laboratory in Santiago or at the quantum Information laboratory in Concepción.
