Physics Expert (AMO / Quantum Information)

24-MAG
New York, NY
Category Engineering
Job Description
Role Overview

We are seeking experienced Physics Experts in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics, Quantum Optics, and Quantum Information to contribute to a frontier research-level benchmarking project.

What You Will Do

Contribute to a research-level benchmarking project involving cascaded optical parametric amplifiers, SU(1,1) interferometers, two-mode squeezing, and realistic loss mechanisms.

Why It Might Be a Fit

Ideal candidates will have strong expertise in Bogoliubov transformations, covariance-matrix methods, homodyne detection, quantum-noise analysis, sideband photocurrent spectra, and lossy quantum optical systems.

Requirements

  • PhD or equivalent research experience in AMO Physics, Quantum Optics, Quantum Information Science, or a closely related field
  • Strong expertise with Bogoliubov transformations and covariance-matrix formalism
  • Strong understanding of quantum-noise analysis and two-mode squeezing
  • Hands-on familiarity with homodyne detection and sideband photocurrent spectra
  • Experience modelling optical losses using fictitious beamsplitters
  • Knowledge of cascaded optical parametric amplifiers and SU(1,1) interferometry
  • Practical familiarity with squeeze-parameter hyperbolic identities
  • Ability to analyse lossy quantum systems rigorously
  • Strong mathematical, analytical, and research-writing skills

Benefits

  • Hourly compensation: $80–$160/hour
