AMO Physicist | Remote

Position: Physics Expert

Type: Contract

Compensation: $80 - $160/hour

Location: Remote

Commitment: 10-40 hrs/week

Role 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, ensuring robust benchmarking against theoretical and experimental scenarios.
• Utilize squeeze-parameter hyperbolic identities to characterize entanglement and squeezing performance in lossy quantum systems.

Requirements
