Studierende finden an der ETH Zürich ein Umfeld, das eigenständiges Denken fördert, Forschende ein Klima, das zu Spitzenleistungen inspiriert.
The Degen group at the Solid State Institute is looking for a highly motivated PhD student to join us in our nanomechanics team.
Do you have a broad interest in physics and technology? Are you willing to learn about many experimental topics, including optomechanics, radio frequency electronics, laser optics, vacuum technology, digital signal analysis, pulse sequence programming, as well as classical and quantum theory? Are you persevering, independent, and a good team player? Get in touch with us!
You can expect a cutting-edge research project that is very challenging due to the many aspects of science and technology that are involved. For the same reason, it is a highly rewarding experience if you enjoy expanding your knowledge beyond textbook physics. We look forward to meeting you!
Is it possible to build networks of Kerr parametric oscillators (KPO) that mimic the physics of many-body spin systems? In our group we try to realize exactly that with high-Q optomechanical resonators.
KPOs have become a central element in the quest to construct physical simulators to solve complex optimization problems. However, there remains a large gap in understanding between the properties of a single KPO and the emergent phenomena arising in coupled systems. In an effort to close this gap, we will design small networks of optomechanical resonators and will operate them as KPOs. On the one hand, we thus hope to answer pressing questions about the stable many-body states of these networks and provide a foundation for large-scale implementations. On the other hand, we will explore applications of our devices, for instance as signal sources with low phase noise or for quantum-limited sensing. We will concentrate on the experimental implementation of KPO networks, but will collaborate with various groups to merge state-of-the-art quantum cavity optomechanics and the theory of Ising Hamiltonian simulators.
The planned tasks for PhD position include cleanroom nanoscale fabrication, modification of an existing vacuum setup, software-hardware programming, optomechanical measurements, data analysis, and collaboration with our colleagues from theory. A high degree of independence and self-organization, but also the ability to work in a team and to coordinate between various sub-projects, are important factors to succeed in this field.
