Postdoctoral Researcher - Quantum Optics Physicist

A research group within the Optical Sciences Division is developing new architectures for quantum sensors and clocks based on atoms. This group is particularly interested in innovations needed to reduce noise, improve response to dynamics, and improve readout. These include features such as novel atomic cooling and trapping techniques, integration with photonic structures, entanglement, spin squeezing, active superradiant emission, readout based on quantum nondemolition measurement, or interrogation with nonclassical optical fields. The group is additionally evaluating the performance of quantum sensor and clock technologies on real-world platforms.

Note: This is an opportunity for a Postdoctoral Research Position through the National Academies. Candidates are also eligible for $3,000 travel stipend.
