PhD Position Quantum noise limited oscillator for squeezing techniques in Nice
This PhD project focuses on the fabrication and experimental demonstration of a mechanical oscillator whose motion is limited by the quantum radiation-pressure noise from a laser beam. The student will be based at the Artemis laboratory, located at the Mont-Gros site of the Observatoire de la Côte d’Azur in Nice, France. He/She will work within the Lasers and Cavities group and benefit from close supervision by permanent researchers, as well as support in mechanical and electronic engineers. The candidate will join an internationally connected research environment, contribute to publications, present results at conferences, and participate in the Einstein Telescope collaboration. Application deadline: April 26th 2026
