Theory Seminar: Sofia Qvarfort (UCL), Gravity sensing and entanglement detection with optomechanical systems

- Export as iCalendar
Location: PS1.28

In this talk, I will give an overview of two recent developments on sensing with nonlinear optomechanical systems and detecting entanglement in Hydrogenic systems. Optomechanical systems operating in the quantum regime one of the most promising emerging quantum sensing technologies. We are interested in computing the fundamental sensitivity that such a system can achieve, especially for challenging tasks such as gravity sensing. It is generally easier to detect a time-dependent signal experimentally, but it is significantly more difficult to model. In the first part of the talk, I will show how we solve the dynamics of a time-dependent optomechanical system and compute the quantum Fisher information for time-varying displacements of the mechanical element. I will also discuss some settings where these results apply. In the second part of my talk, I will discuss a more esoteric question, namely the detection of entanglement for a Hydrogenic system. While the Hydrogenic solutions to the Schrödinger equation have been known for almost a century, the question of whether the two subsystems are entanglement is not often addressed. I will show how entanglement can be computed for free and localised Hydrogenic systems.

UKRI Deadlines

Due to the implementation of a new UKRI funding system (TFS) there will be a fixed quarterly deadlines for some grants which would previously have been on open calls, this is to allow necessary system amendments and updates.

The first deadline after implementation will be 28th September 2023 and applies to those calls listed below:

EPSRC New Investigator Award

EPSRC Network Grant

EPSRC Post Doctoral Fellowship

EPSRC Open Fellowship

EPSRC Open Plus Fellowship

EPSRC Working with overseas scientists

EPSRC Standard research grant

EPSRC Discipline hopping in ICT

EPSRC Overseas travel grant
