QuRIOUS: a new doctoral programme on optical quantum clocks
The European Commission has decided to fund the doctoral network QuRIOUS – Quantum Research and Innovation in Optical clocks for Upcoming Scientists – which will train and develop the skills of 15 doctoral students on the topic of optical clocks and their applications. The program will be coordinated by the University of Amsterdam, and involves eleven academic and industrial partners throughout Europe, among which the Laboratoire de Physique des Lasers (LPL) of Sorbonne Paris Nord University. The Quantum Magnetic Gases group at LPL has an opening for a doctoral researcher within the QuRIOUS doctoral network, on their superradiant laser experiment: a prototype for a new kind of “active” optical clock, relying on the collective phenomenon of superradiance.
