Quantum Opto-Mechatronics

Opto-mechatronics is the multidisciplinary study of optical, mechanical, and electronic systems for the purposes of extending the functional utilities of advanced hybrid systems. This fellowship aims to investigate the quantum analogue to this multidisciplinary study. By precise control of physical systems and their environment, optical, mechanical and atomic systems can strongly interact with, and coherently map onto, each other. The interface physics of these systems could manifest many interesting quantum phenomena. This fellowship will investigate the potential of these quantum phenomena for enhancing communication, sensing, and information processing technologies.
