Aalto University is a new university with over a century of experience. Created from a high-profile merger between three leading universities in Finland—the Helsinki University of Technology, the Helsinki School of Economics, and the University of Art and Design Helsinki—Aalto University opens up new possibilities for strong multi-disciplinary education and research. The university's ambitious goal is to rank among the top universities in the world in its areas of specialization. Aalto has 20,000 students and around 75,000 alumni. The staff of 4,500 includes 300 professors.
The Quantum Nanomechanics group http://physics.aalto.fi/groups/nems/ at the Department of Applied Physics and O.V. Lounasmaa Laboratory, Aalto University http://www.aalto.fi/en/, Finland, is looking for outstanding individuals;
TWO POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHERS,
to work on electromechanical quantum coherent systems under the ERC projects NEMSQED and CAVITYQPD. The positions are filled and the work can start as soon as suitable candidates are found but no later than 1.6.2014.
We experimentally investigate the coupling of superconducting quantum bits and cavities to micromechanical resonators near the quantum ground state of the mechanical degrees of freedom. These studies shed light on the quantum behavior of nearly macroscopic objects, as well as might provide a platform for long-lived quantum memory and bus for superconducting qubits. To this end, we are also setting up optics work.
Main tasks and requirements
The postdoctoral scientist #1 will be responsible for the development and measurement of integrated electromechanical quantum chips based the transmon qubit in circuit QED architecture, and micromechanical resonators made with aluminum or silicon nitride membranes. For these challenging experiments, we are looking for outstanding candidates who are motivated in experimental, low-temperature solid state physics. We require the candidates to have a proven track record in quantum nanophysics, clean room techniques, and strong interest in micromechanical systems. In addition, the candidates should have expertise in modern cryogenic systems, dilution refrigerators, and measurement automation.
The postdoctoral scientist #2 will be responsible for the development and measurement of optomechanical crystals, and their integration in circuit QED architecture. We require the candidate to have proven track record in quantum optics. Clean room techniques and e-beam lithography are an asset.
