This PhD program will explore whether interesting states of matter can be created by active temporal manipulation of the light-matter couplings. Can atoms trapped in an optical lattice be driven into new, interesting states when the lattice is shaking at high frequencies? What advantages will such systems offer for quantum-enhanced sensing of magnetic and gravitational fields, or for quantum computing and information processing?

We are looking for motivated PhD candidates interested in joining our effort to harness time-varying optical metamaterials to improve the capabilities of integrated quantum optical systems. The project will be mostly theoretical, framed in the language of open quantum systems, cavity optomechanics and quantum nonlinear optics. In addition, the candidate will work closely with a leading experimental group seeking to implement these concepts.
