Laser-Cooled Optical Clocks and Quantum Sensors for Space Applications

Job description

Description

I am interested in developing laser cooling based quantum sensors for applications in remote sensing and fundamental tests of gravitational theory. These include atom interferometric sensors of gravitational fields and gradients[1], and of rotation. I am also interested in the development of optical clocks for space applications, including tests of fundamental physics. In addition I have had a long interest in the study of Bose-Einstein condensation[2], and possible microgravity experiments in this field. Candidates with a background in laser cooling, optical clocks, and atom interferometry are encouraged to apply.
