Job description
Offer DescriptionThe field of matter-wave interferometry is emerging as a highly-promising interdisciplinary field, at the interface between fundamental science and quantum technologies European industry. The primary goals of MAWI are to use the exquisite control of ultracold quantum matter to implement guided matter-wave interferometers and to train young researchers in the emerging fields of matter-wave interferometry and quantum sensors based on interferometric schemes. Supported by our state-of-the-art facilities, our complementary expertise and skills, the participation of well-known European companies and a broad range of established external partners, we offer a PhD position on the subject of quantum interferometrry. MAWI is funded by the EU Horizon Europe (HORIZON) Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions – Doctoral Networks MSCA-DN.

LP2N is deeply involved in the construction of the MIGA large-scale gravity antenna, a research infrastructure based on matter wave interferometry that provide precise measurements of the local gravity sensed by a network of three free-falling atom test masses distant up to 150 m. In the first part of the thesis, the applicant will be working on the most advanced instrument developed at EQS, the Differential Quantum Gravimeter (DQG), a double matter-wave interferometer able to measure simultaneously the local gravity acceleration and its gravity gradient. The goal will be optimizing the performances of the device and its accuracy above the current state of the art and using to perform useful measurements for geophysics or civil engineering. In a second part the student will be involved within the LP2N in the MIGA project, where his/her work will be focused on the development of advanced atom gradiometry techniques. In particular, he/she will develop new metrological models and simulations for high-sensitive measurement of the gravity gradient over the horizontal direction. A simultaneous operation with the DQG will be explored to open multi-axial sensing of the gravitational field. Work will involve experimental work, data analysis, theory and eventually field measurements with the DQG.Work Location(s)Number of offers available 1 Company/Institute EXAIL Country France City Bordeaux GeofieldWhere to apply E-mail[email protected]Contact CityTrieste WebsiteStreetVia Valerio, 2 Postal Code34127STATUS: EXPIRED
