Physics Expert (AMO / Quantum Information)

micro1 is seeking a Physics Expert specializing in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical (AMO) Physics or Quantum Information to contribute to a research-focused project. You will apply your deep domain knowledge to help train next-generation AI systems by benchmarking advanced concepts in quantum optics and providing high-quality, real-world input.

Key responsibilities

• Analyze and model cascaded optical parametric amplifiers and SU(1,1) interferometric systems under realistic loss mechanisms.
• Apply Bogoliubov transformations and covariance-matrix techniques to quantify quantum correlations and noise properties.
• Derive and interpret sideband photocurrent spectra utilizing homodyne detection methodologies.
• Implement and critique loss modeling via fictitious beamsplitters to ensure robust benchmarking.
• Utilize squeeze-parameter hyperbolic identities to characterize entanglement and squeezing performance.

Requirements

• Advanced degree (PhD or equivalent) in AMO Physics, Quantum Optics, or Quantum Information Science.
• Proven expertise with Bogoliubov transformations, covariance-matrix formalism, and quantum noise analysis.
• Hands-on familiarity with sideband spectra, homodyne detection, and modeling of quantum optical loss mechanisms.
• Demonstrated ability applying squeeze-parameter hyperbolic identities in practical research.
• Familiarity with frontier research involving cascaded parametric amplifiers or two-mode squeezing.

What we offer

• Opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research and AI development.
• Flexible engagement as a Solver, Auditor, or Adjudicator based on your specialization.
• Fully remote collaboration on high-impact scientific projects.
