We propose to study the interaction between mechanical and electronic degrees of freedom using a Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) based on a single suspended carbon nanotube. The project can evolve toward two main directions. The first one aims at observing and generating mechanical quantum states of the carbon nanotube such as Schrödinger cat. The other direction focuses on the study of the dynamics of a single molecular magnet [6] using the nanotube-SQUID as an ultra-sensitive magnetometer.

The Theory of Quantum Systems Group invites applications for a Postdoctoral Researchers in the theoretical and computational condensed matter physics group of Prof. Michał Nowak. The research involves modelling of topological superconductors, superconductor-semiconductor heterostructures, topological Josephson junctions with the aim to focus on quantum transport and nonreciprocal phenomena.

The University of Kent has an active research community studying a range of phenomena in theoretical and applied condensed matter physics. The School of Physical Sciences hosts the interdisciplinary Functional Materials Group, with major recent investments in both theory and experiment of correlated quantum matter.

The SQC group is active in the field of Quantum computing with superconducting devices, in particular phase and flux qubits based on SQUIDs, and in fields related to these topics.

The IFN is an institute of the Italian CNR devoted to the study and fabrication of advanced devices for photonics, optoelectronics and electronics. Nanotechnologies play a prominent role in these research fields. The combined expertise in nanofabrication, materials and photonics creates a synergy able to compete in this very new and challenging field.
