We are seeking a talented and ambitious candidate to join our team in developing next-generation quantum sensors. The project focuses on creating a mesoscopic-scale artificial atom through superconducting levitation of a ferromagnetic particle. This levitated, freely precessing particle represents a system of correlated spins, capable of rapidly averaging quantum uncertainty. By leveraging this system, we aim to develop quantum sensors with sensitivities surpassing the standard quantum limits.
Key Responsibilities
This position is based in A*STAR Quantum Innovation Centre (Q.InC). The successful candidate will contribute to a range of innovative activities, including:
- Development of high-performance sources to generate squeezed light.
- Characterizing the squeezed light.
- Modeling the dynamics of the levitated particle
- Microfabrication of the particle, silicon pocket, and superconducting materials
- Develop a hybrid motion tracking system integrating SQUID technology with squeezed light techniques.
Requirements
- Ph.D. in Physics, Applied Physics, Precise Instrumentation, or related fields
- Strong motivation for multidisciplinary research
- Prior experience in superconductivity and/or quantum sensing is highly preferred
- Proficiency in programming languages such as Python or MATLAB
- Strong teamwork and communication skills
The above eligibility criteria are not exhaustive. A*STAR may include additional selection criteria based on its prevailing recruitment policies. These policies may be amended from time to time without notice. We regret that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
