The School of Mathematics & Physics at Queen’s University Belfast, is currently seeking to appoint an exceptional candidate to the post of Research Fellow.
The successful candidate will be an active member of the research team working on quantum technologies at Queen’s University, undertaking theoretical research towards the exploration of quantum control in levitated optomechanical systems and the study of the interplay between quantum mechanics and gravity in a parameter range accessible for a high-efficiency table-top quantum gravity sensor. The appointee will contribute to the development of theoretical techniques of experimental viability to control the quantum motion of mesoscopic levitated systems, and thus study and assess the quantum-to-classical transition induced by the interplay of such systems with gravity.
The successful candidate must have, and your application should clearly demonstrate you have:
