Post-doc: spectral shaping of quantum light

We are looking for a highly motivated post-doc to work within the project Phase-only shaping of quantum light pulses for applications in quantum technologies. The goal of the project is to implement low-loss spectral-temporal transformations of the quantum state of single-photon light pulses. The transformations will be implemented using non-linear optics and electro-optics methods. We will develop their applications within quantum technologies, including photonic quantum network interfaces, quantum information processing and quantum metrology of time and frequency.

There are several possible roles you can take in the project, depending on your experience and interests: from theoretical conceptual work on time and frequency metrology, through investigating optimal sequences of spectral transformations, to experimental implementation of spectral transformations and their applications, including spectral shaping of single photons from solid-state emitters.

The project is carried out at the Quantum Photonics Lab of the Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw and funded within the First Team programme of the Foundation for Polish Science. We offer employment in a young international team, at the forefront of current research activities within quantum optics, at the interface of theory and experiment, for a competitive salary. Employment duration is up to 27 months.

Faculty of Physics of the University of Warsaw is the top physics research institution in Poland, ranked within the top 100 physics research institutes in the world. We are a part of the strong local quantum optics and quantum information research community, quantum-warsaw.pl. The project is carried out in active collaboration with teams from the Optoelectronics Research Centre of the University of Southampton (UK), Laboratoire Kastler Brossel of the Sorbonne University in Paris (France) and the Saarland University (Germany).
