We currently have PhD and Postdoctoral positions available for studying microwave optomechanics. In the project, you will use microwave cavities cooled to milliKelvin temperatures to control and manipulate the motion of mechanical resonators made from membranes and strings at the quantum level.
The projects involve studying mechanical resonators made from drums and strings in which the motion of the drum or string is coupled to photons trapped in a high-Q superconducting microwave cavity.
