Job description

PhD position in quantum sensors for the gravity-quantum interface

We are looking for a post-graduate student to join the quantum information science group of
Animesh Datta at the University of Warwick. The goal of this theoretical project will be to
develop schemes for quantum-enhanced sensing of novel physics such as potential quantum or classical fluctuations in space-time, collapse of massive quantum superpositions, and the
quantum aspects of gravity more generally. Emphasis is to be placed on the experimental
feasibility of these schemes in optical, mechanical, optomechanical or other platforms.
