Glass Nanomechanical Resonators in the Quantum Ground State Openings for a postdoc and a PhD student are available in an ERC-funded project devoted to identifying the universal low energy excitations of glass.1 These excitations, thought to be two level...

Postdoc position in theory of opto-mechanical systems Detecting and monitoring mechanical systems at the nanoscale has important applications in sensing, quantum computation, quantum limited detection, and in general for the understanding of new phenomena...

Studying water in extreme confinement through the development of a coupled nanofluidic-nanomechanics platform The aim of the project is to experimentally investigate the properties of water in extreme confinement inside carbon nanotubes.Confining matter at the...

Moving a mechanical quantum object with a single photonOptomechanics, the interaction between light and mechanical oscillators, is a burgeoning field of research at the interface of quantum optics, mesoscopic physics and mechanical micro/nano systems.A...
