Postdoctoral Researcher

to conduct experimental research in projects related to quantum micromechanical systems. Our team investigates how mechanical oscillators can be utilized for fundamental studies probing quantum mechanics in massive systems, as well as for applications in quantum information processing. The measurements are carried out at deep cryogenic temperatures in dilution refrigerators. Notably, we have demonstrated quantum entanglement between two micromechanical oscillators realized as vibrating aluminum drumheads [, ].

This project aims to address one of the great unresolved challenges in physics: While quantum mechanics successfully describes low-energy phenomena, it is incompatible with general relativity which governs gravity and huge energies. The interface between these two has r...
