Job Description

Our research focuses on the development of scalable quantum networks for computation and sensing applications. We delve into the realm of optical quantum physics, leveraging the use of squeezed light generated by optical parametric amplifiers. Our in-depth exploration centers around the physics and dynamics of open quantum systems, where the primary quantum system interacts with either Markovian or non-Markovian baths. The objective of our research is to comprehend the capabilities and constraints of scalable quantum networks, with particular emphasis on quantum machine learning and novel computational methods.

We are seeking an enthusiastic postdoctoral scholar who is passionate about quantum physics. The successful candidate will aid us in understanding the intricate physics of interconnected quantum systems and open quantum systems within the context of scalable quantum networks. This will involve conducting both theoretical and experimental studies using squeezed light and other photonic devices, including beam splitters and detectors. Postdoctoral level and salary is dependent upon candidate experience. https://wp.optics.arizona.edu/danielsoh/
