Opportunity summary
We are seeking a motivated Post-Doctoral Researcher for a 2-year position to develop a theory of spectroscopy with entangled surface plasmons. You will join the "Theory of light-matter interaction in quantum materials" group at DTU Physics. Check out our website here.
About the Project
The project asks whether entangled-state spectroscopy can separately characterize co-occurring physical interactions, such as charge transfer and polarization forces. We will focus on nonlinear spectroscopies and design quantum states of plasmons that control the excitation pathways, selecting the interaction type that contributes to the signal. As a PostDoc at DTU, your main tasks will be to:
- Develop analytical theory for nonlinear absorption of entangled surface plasmons by molecules on surfaces - Design families of entangled plasmon states that selectively enhance or suppress different interaction pathways - Connect the signals to quantum chemistry pictures of charge transfer and intermolecular forces The ideal candidate is a theorist who enjoys analytical derivations and has a background in quantum optics, nonlinear optics or spectroscopy, with curiosity about bringing quantum light into chemistry.
A background in theoretical chemistry is also welcome1 …
