Postdoc in Quantum Cavity Metrology with Ytterbium

FEMTO-ST; France; On-site; EUR 34,000 - 42,000; Full time

Job summary

FEMTO-ST in France seeks a Researcher for a Postdoctoral position in the Time and Frequency group. The project focuses on superradiant lasers using cold atoms and a high-finesse cavity, aiming to observe superradiance on the clock transition of ytterbium.

You will participate in transporting atoms to the cavity and conducting high-resolution spectroscopy to explore atom-cavity coupling and quantum correlations.

Qualifications

• PhD or equivalent in physics or a closely related field.
• Experience with cold atoms experiments is required.
• Experience in metrology is appreciated.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to experiments observing superradiance in ytterbium.
• Transport ytterbium atoms to the cavity using an optical conveyor belt.
• Perform high-resolution spectroscopy to estimate atom-cavity coupling and study quantum correlations.
