Research Group
Our research falls at the intersection of theoretical quantum optics and condensed matter physics. Our current projects are
- Spin (de)coherence: Wavelet-enhancement of magnetic field sensing in NV centers
- Optomechanics: non-Hermitian optomechanics and its synthetic gauge field control
We welcome applicants interested in quantum optics and condensed matter physics having skills on scientific
computing (together with a mindset of digging with a needle).
