Gerard Higgins from the group of Markus Hennrich at Stockholm University just received a prestigious international PostDoc grant from VR that allows him to research for three years. Congrats! Gerard will spent 1/3 of his time with us at Chalmers and 2/3 of his time in the group of Markus Aspelmeyer at the University of Vienna, Austria. His goal is to bring more macroscopic objects into quantum states by using magnetically levitated particles. See the MC2 news article here.

Today we had our kick-off meeting of the EI Nano project Quantum optics meets 2D materials with Ermin, Saroj, Josh, Hanlin and Joey. Let us get it going!

 

Hanlin has joined our team as a PostDoctoral fellow working on 2D materials for quantum technologies. A warm welcome and enjoy working with us!

Check out the open PhD positions at Chalmers Excellence Initiative Nano! Two of them are in our lab: Quantum-enhanced sensing with cavity optomechanical systems in the non-linear regime and Macroscopic quantum experiments with magnetically levitated, micrometer-sized superconductors.
