Job Description

The Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) at the National University of Singapore (NUS), and French-Singaporean international laboratory (Majulab), are looking for a talented postdoctoral or PhD candidate in experimental physics, for exploring the fundamental and technological quantum resources of systems that are constructed around a high-Kerr photonic resonators – i.e. a resonator in which the nonlinearity strength acts at the scale of one or a few photons. Two research axes are currently in development: (i) New physics and resources emerging in the quantum regime of photonic bistability, and (ii) new paradigm for the measurement of quantum scale forces (i.e. at the scale of single photons recoil) in hybrid Strong-Kerr optomechanical architectures.

More specifically, the goals are:

• Characterise the quantum properties of a strong-Kerr microresonator in the bistable regime using classical and quantum light: e.g.: demonstration of a Dynamical Casimir effect in the jump dynamics, demonstration of a giant single-shot ultra-fast amplification of single or few photons.
• Participate in the development of a new type of hybrid Strong-Kerr optomechanical architecture by optical characterization and feedback (Collaboration for the fabrication: C2N CNRS, Paris-Saclay). Demonstrate the polaritonic-enhancement and the Kerr-enhancement of the optomechanical interactions in the system using externally applied classical and quantum-prepared radiation pressure.

Job Requirements

The candidate should have a solid academic track-record, and in the case of a postdoc position, a previous experience in experimental physics on connected topics such as: Quantum optics, atomic vapours and/or condensates, optomechanics of nano-microsystems, optical spectroscopy of solid-state nano-micro-systems.

The appointee will join CQT under the supervision of Dr M. Richard (Majulab & CQT affiliated). The candidate will contribute in every aspect of the group operation, e.g. by co-supervising interns and PhD candidates. Salary will be competitive and will be commensurate with the candidates work experience.

Candidates who have a PhD degree and generally 3 or more years’ postdoctoral research experience will be considered for a senior role.

Applicants should submit a detailed CV. Positions will initially be offered for 15 months, with possible extension for at least one more year. The start date is flexible. If shortlisted, applicants should also arrange for two letters of reference to be sent directly to the supervisor.
