About the Project
By harnessing fundamental features of quantum mechanics—such as superposition and entanglement—quantum sensors offer new frontiers for detecting quantities ranging from magnetic and electric fields to strain and temperature. These systems offer wide-ranging applications ranging from magnetic resonance imaging at the nanoscale, to quantum-enhanced biosensing.
This project seeks to demonstrate a new quantum sensing platform based on electronic spins in luminescent molecules, enabling robust quantum states to be harnessed in a versatile and widely deployable molecular architecture. Through this multidisciplinary effort you will carry out range of activities including cryogenic optical spectroscopy, magnetic resonance, quantum-mechanical simulations, and you will have access to the state-of-the-art James Watt Nanofabrication Centre. This project will enable you to acquire a broad set of skills spanning quantum control, quantum optics, high-frequency electronics, and nanofabrication, and ultimately contribute to the development of a novel class of quantum probes.
