The project aims to reach the quantum regime of optomechanics with polaritons by utilizing GaAs/AlAs-based microcavities with embedded quantum wells with applications in quantum transduction between microwave and optical frequencies. These unconventional optomechanical systems exhibit a unique magic coincidence of their phonon and polariton properties allowing for the simultaneous trapping of light and sound within the same high‑Q cavity, and resulting in extremely high optomechanical interaction for the polaritons and mechanical modes in GHz range. The project is carried out in close collaboration with our partners providing access to complementary expertise and device know‑how.
The successful candidate is expected to lead the experimental effort with a team of PhD and master’s students and collaborate closely with theorists in the group. They will collaborate with our academic and industry partners worldwide. They are e...
