We are an experimental group at the Quantum Technology Laboratory of the Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience (MC2) at Chalmers.
Our vision is to explore the quantum behavior of micrometer-sized objects and to develop novel quantum sensing technologies.
We address these research activities with different experiments based on nano- and micromechanical systems.
We use magnetic levitation of superconducting microparticles as an experimental platform to study the quantum behavior of macroscopic objects.
We explore cavity optomechanical devices for utilizing the interaction between light and mechanical motion in novel sensing devices.
Our research is interdisciplinary and brings together methods from quantum optics, quantum information, solid-state physics, superconductivity, and photonics. Our group’s expertise spans the entire research methodology: from device simulation over device fabrication in Chalmers in-house Nanofabrication laboratory to device characterization, and, of course, experiments.
Do you want to be part of our exciting journey to observe the quantum behavior of macroscopic objects or to develop novel quantum sensing technologies? We are happy to talk with you! Simply get in touch with us for more in-depth information and a lab tour. Please have a look here.
Please contact Witlef for details, if you want to join as a PhD student or PostDoc.
We offer Master thesis projects in our lab. You find possible Master thesis projects for 2025/2026 here.
