Our goal in this Air Force funded project is to provide proof-of-principle results for the development of a transformative, nondestructive, universally applicable, method of super-resolution imaging capable of measuring the positions of molecules separated by distances of 10 nanometers or less. The ultimate goal is to rely upon two-photon interference of quantum-mechanically entangled Stokes and anti-Stokes photons and methods of quantum estimation .
The duties will entail either:
- using entangled spontaneously down-converted photons and Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) interferometry to demonstrate enhancement of spatial resolution beyond the Heisenberg Limit
- demonstrating the generation of entangled Stokes and anti-Stokes photons from chemical, biological, or any material of interestthe only limitation being the existence of a vibrational mode 1000 cm-1--and determining their suitability for obtaining super-resolution imaging by HOM interferometry.
Preferred candidates will have a strong background in experimental and computational aspects of either quantum optics or of molecular spectroscopy as well as experience working with lasers, optics, EMCCDs and SPADs.
This position is available for extension based on available funding.
Required Minimum Qualifications:Ph.D. in physics, quantum optics, chemistry, or electrical engineering
Preferred Qualifications:
experience with lasers and optics
demonstrated proficiency with programming
