Using levitation, we can isolate and control physical systems with unprecedented precision. The rapidly evolving field of levitodynamics studies how these can be used as quantum sensors, and for tests of fundamental physics. Most levitated systems are limited to small masses (nano/microgram). They also involve incoherent optical interactions which scatter rather than reflect light. Thus, these cannot take advantage of the well-developed optical toolbox of interferometry, optical feedback, and quantum squeezed light.
Our group is pioneering a new class of levitated system enabling coherent optical interaction, and milligram masses. We are pursuing this in a range of platforms leveraging diamagnetic, superconducting, and optical levitation. This could allow us to create ultra precise quantum sensors and investigate the deepest outstanding questions in physics such as quantum collapse mechanisms and quantum gravity.
We are seeking research engineers to help us build these new systems. There are a number of areas where you could contribute, including
