Crynodeb
This is an exciting opportunity to join the Department of Physics at the University of Warwick.
We are seeking to appoint a Research Fellow to build an experiment with a magnetically levitated microdiamond towards testing the quantum nature of gravity. The appointment will be for two years with the possibility of extension as part of our five-year project supported by The Moore Foundation and the Sloan Foundation, in collaboration with Yale University, Northwestern University, UCL and Groningen University. You will work with Professor Gavin Morley and his team in Warwick. We have built magnetic levitation of micron-sized diamonds including centre-of-mass cooling, and separately, quantum control of single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) spins in non-levitated microdiamonds. The microdiamonds we have developed (with Oliver Williams’ group) have the longest quantum coherence times. You will combine these two experiments to control the spin of NV centres inside magnetically levitated microdiamonds. You will build this inside of a specially commissioned cryostat. The aim is to create a spatial superposition of the diamond towards testing fundamental physics including a test of the quantum nature of gravity. You would be the day-to-day supervisor for two PhD students on this levitated microdiamond project, and support the other PhD students in the group.
Applications from underrepresented minorities are particularly encouraged.
We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis, even where a position is advertised as full-time, unless there are operational or other objective reasons why it is not possible to do so.
