Job Description
Missions
The postdoctoral researcher will be responsible for conducting and optimizing an atom interferometry experiment using a Bose-Einstein condensate manipulated by an optical lattice. He or she will develop optimal control protocols to develop a cold-atom gradiometer. This project will be conducted at LCAR, within the "Atom Interferometry" team, under the supervision of Baptiste Allard (team led by Alexandre Gauguet).
Activity
- Maintain the atom interferometer in operational condition
- Collaborate with theoretical physicists specialized in optimal control methods
- Set up experiments and evaluate the performance of control protocols
- Conduct metrological studies of an atom gradiometer using these protocols
- Analyze and publish the results
Your Profil
Skills
- Experimental expertise in the field of cold atoms.
- Expertise in atom interferometry
- Experience in applying quantum optimal control to cold atom systems would be a plus.
- Knowledge of programming languages for instrumentation (LabView, Python)
Your Work Environment
The LCAR is a joint research unit (UMR) of the CNRS and the University of Toulouse. The postdoctoral researcher will work on a daily basis with researchers and PhD students from the Atom Interferometry team, as well as with theoretical collaborators from the University of Bourgogne who specialize in optimal control.
The atom interferometer is already operational, and the postdoctoral researcher will use this apparatus with the support of the laboratory's technical staff. The project is funded by the ANR and EUR NanoX.
