Not funded by a EU programme Is the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? You will develop new theoretical methods for quantum sensing with mechanical systems, explore their use in tests of fundamental physics, and help build the research environment of a new theory group. Job description Imagine extending decades of exquisite quantum control from atoms, ions, photons, and related quantum platforms to the rigid-body motion of an entire solid containing billions of atoms. This capability is now becoming a reality through rapid advances in the control of mechanical quantum systems, opening new opportunities for quantum sensing, precision metrology, and tests of the fundamental laws of physics. Realising this potential, however, requires theoretical frameworks that connect realistic quantum experiments with the fundamental questions they are expected to address. As a postdoctoral researcher at TU Delft, you will develop and lead analytical and numerical research on the quantum dynamics of mechanical systems and their interactions with complex environments. Building on these models, you will formulate and investigate new approaches to quantum control, noise mitigation, and quantum sensing, while establishing the fundamental limits that govern the preparation, manipulation, and certification of quantum states in realistic experiments. By combining experimentally grounded models with theoretical tools from quantum information, open quantum systems, and the foundations of quantum physics, you...
