About the project
Quantum spin systems may be controlled by the experimentalist using sequences of magnetic fields. In this project, you will design control fields for spin systems using recently developed symmetry theorems. The project involves a combination of theory, numerical simulation, and experiments performed locally and through international collaborations.
Quantum spin systems, such as those involved in quantum computing, quantum sensing or magnetic resonance imaging may be controlled by the experimentalist using sequences of external control fields. In this project, you will design control fields for spin systems by leveraging recently developed symmetry rules to generate robust Floquet-engineered dynamics. The resulting symmetry-based control protocols will be studied by theory and numerical simulations, and applied to practical use cases such as nanoscale magnetometry with nitrogen-vacancy diamond sensors or imaging of materials across multiple length scales using magnetic resonance techniques.
This PhD project provides practical training in advanced quantum control methods, such as dynamic decoupling and composite pulse design, widely applied in several quantum devices and technologies. Together with strong international collaborators, we will explore techniques at the forefront of quantum technology development, such as nanoscale quantum sensing, complemented by local expertise in Electron Paramagnetic Resonance, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
