Open Positions

We are currently accepting applications for Master’s and Ph.D. positions related to our FAPESP grant.

In our group, you will have the opportunity to develop several skills. We work with cryogenic tools to explore the quantum features of distinct systems, which we microfabricated ourselves. We are looking for students eager to participate in a collaborative and inclusive environment, where we can have a lot of fun while doing great science!

We encourage students from diverse backgrounds to join the team, including individuals of different gender identities, sexual orientations, and ethnicities. The more diverse our environment, the richer our thoughts. Science thrives on diversity!

Master Positions

Optomechanics with Surface Acoustic Waves

Funding: FAPESP

The student will contribute to developing an optomechanical device designed to operate in the quantum regime. They will also assist in building the laboratory infrastructure, focusing on the optical setups. The primary objective is to conduct optomechanical experiments that serve as the foundation for the transduction process.

In this project, the student will learn and develop a diverse set of skills, including:

  • Studying optical cavities and learning basic concepts.
  • Understanding the optomechanical Hamiltonian, supported by numerical simulations of our system.
  • Fabricating micromirrors and optomechanical devices.
  • Measuring optomechanical devices at room temperature.
  • Performing cryogenic measurements of optomechanical devices, including single-phonon level experiments.


How to Apply

If you are interested in joining us as a Master’s or Ph.D. student, please send us an email. Briefly explain why you are interested, and attach a CV that includes your undergraduate grades. There is no need for a separate cover letter or certificates. Important: Please include “Application PhD” or “Application Master” in the subject line.


Bachelor Projects

We are always open to new Bachelor’s students. At the moment, we are offering the following projects:

  • Introduction to Circuit Quantum Electrodynamics: Learn how to quantize electrical circuits and the fundamentals of superconducting circuits and qubits.
  • Simulations of integrated grating coupler: Develop numerical simulations with finite element method of an integrated photonic grating coupler.
  • Introduction to Quantum Transduction: Understand the constraints and explore potential solutions to the challenging problem of transducing quantum states.

We are also happy to discuss the specific interests of students who want to join the team. Feel free to reach out and chat with us!
