Nonlinear Optical Cavities for Quantum Networks

A postdoctoral fellowship is open for an experimental physicist within the Computational and Information Science Directorate (Network Science Division) of the U.S. Army Research Laboratory. The fellow will lead a research project focused on the design, characterization, and experimental demonstration of nonlinear optical cavities suitable for controlling and manipulating light in quantum networks. The project will be conducted in close collaboration with MIT, and offers plentiful opportunities for collaboration with other leading universities and government agencies. The primary research location will be the Adelphi Laboratory Center in Adelphi, MD. The fellowship can be renewed yearly up to a total duration of 3 years. Suitable candidates should have a PhD in physics or engineering with a background in quantum optics, integrated photonics, nonlinear optics, or optical cavities. Programming experience in MATLAB or a similar language is mandatory.
