Responsibilities
The primary responsibility of the incumbent will be to develop innovative and more accurate methods for characterizing strongly correlated polaritons. Polaritons, described as quantum fluids of light, exhibit unique quantum behavior such as superfluidity, showcasing frictionless, zero-energy-cost flows. The project aims to advance our understanding of polaritons in the strongly interacting regime, particularly far from equilibrium, with the ultimate goal of realizing a superfluid of light at room temperature. By contributing to this project, the successful candidate will play a crucial role in establishing Australia as a global leader in the commercialization of innovative photonic technologies.
In addition to conducting independent research activities with limited supervision, the Postdoctoral Research Fellow will also be involved in supervising students, preparing research results for publication, and presenting findings at conferences.
Requirements
Solid theoretical background in ultracold quantum gases and condensed matter physics
Demonstrated publication track record in peer-reviewed journals
Early Career Researcher (i.e., awarded a PhD within five years)
Demonstrated experience in superfluidity and/or superconductivity
Demonstrated experience in large-scale numerical simulations
An earned doctoral qualification in Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics or Quantum Physics
Benefits
Full-time position for up to two years
Working alongside Prof. Xia-Ji Liu at the Centre for Quantum Technology Theory (CQTT)
Project funded by the Australian Research Council
Opportunity to contribute to groundbreaking research in the field of quantum technology
