Internship: Realizing multilevel switching metasurfaces for optical computing

Work Activities
Metasurfaces offer exciting possibilities for optical computing, but their functionality is typically fixed after fabrication. In this project, we aim to overcome that limitation by integrating phase change materials into metasurface designs. These materials can be reversibly switched between crystalline and amorphous states by local laser heating, opening the door to programmable optical devices. Your challenge will be to push this concept beyond binary switching and realize multilevel states in practice. You will investigate questions such as: Which designs support controlled switching? What laser pulse powers and durations are required? How many distinct optical states can be achieved, and how reproducibly? Depending on your interests, the project can include numerical simulations, cleanroom fabrication, and optical characterization in the laser lab.

Qualifications
You are currently enrolled in a Master’s program in physics, chemistry, materials science, or a related field. You have a nationality of an EU-member state and/or you are a student at a university in the Netherlands. The internship has to be a mandatory part of your curriculum. We expect you to be available for at least 5 months, although longer is preferable.

Work environment
AMOLF is a part of NWO-I and initiate and performs leading fundamental research on the physics of complex forms of matter, and to create new functional materials, in partnership with academia and industry. The institute is located at Amsterdam Science Park and currently employs about 140 researchers and 80 support employees. www.amolf.nl

The Resonant Nanophotonics team studies subwavelength resonant nanophotonics to control scattering, emission, absorption and amplification of light. We turn concepts from p/asmonics and metasurfaces into nanolasers, LEDs, and tools for metrology, and pursue new concepts for optical information processing using meta-opties. Projects typically involve realizing your ideas in the Amsterdam Nanolab cleanroom, optical microscopy and interferometry, and theory or simulation -we adjust the ratio of these to your interests.

Working conditions
At the start of the traineeship your trainee plan will be set out, in consultation with your AMOLF supervisor.

Internship:Optomechanical state transfer through radiation pressure feedback

Work Activities
Optical-to-mechanical state transfer is an important capability for emerging quantum networks and quantum memories. Cavity optomechanics provides an interesting platform for achieving such transfer, where radiation pressure mediates the interaction between optical fields and mechanical motion. In this project, you will investigate a new method for state transfer, based on ultrasensitive optical measurements and feedback through radiation pressure forces. This is expected to coherently map information encoded as optical signals onto mechanical motion. Your experiments will investigate the novel possibility of continuous state transfer and may provide new routes for information processing and sensing.

Qualifications
You are currently enrolled in a Master’s program in physics, chemistry, materials science, or a related field. You have a nationality of an EU-member state and/or you are a student at a university in the Netherlands. The internship has to be a mandatory part of your curriculum.

In the Photonic Forces group, we study light-matter interactions at the nanoscale, in particular the coupling between photons and phonons in nano-optomechanical systems. We seek to understand how the behavior of light and sound in nanoscale devices is governed by fundamental principles such as spatiotemporal symmetries and quantum mechanics. We explore how suitable system design and control over light-matter interactions can engage the conventional limits to nanophotonic and nanomechanical functionality, in application domains from sensing and metrology to communication.

Internship: Probabilistic computing in nonlinear optical resonators

Work Activities
In conventional computers, information is encoded in bits that can take a value of 0 or 1. Quantum computers extend this idea by using qubits, which can exist in superpositions of 0 and 1. A third paradigm, known as probabilistic computing, uses probabilistic bits (p-bits): binary units that randomly fluctuate between 0 and 1 with a controllable probability. Rather than avoiding randomness, this approach uses noise as a computational resource. Probabilistic computing is actively investigated in the context of Boltzmann machines and neural networks, where stochastic binary units can efficiently perform computational tasks that naturally involve randomness, often more efficiently than deterministic hardware. In this project, you will explore how nonlinear optical resonators can be used for probabilistic computing. Our group recently realized, theoretically, a new way to make a p-bit in a nonlinear optical cavity. Building on this result, you will investigate how to implement this optical p-bit experimentally. You will investigate what determines its energy efficiency, speed, and precision, and how these performance metrics inter-relate.

Qualifications

You have a nationality of an EU-member state and/or you are a student at a university in the Netherlands. The internship has to be a mandatory part of your curriculum.

In the Interacting Photons group, we search for new physics emerging from photon interactions. As a testbed for new ideas, we use optical microcavities with nonlinear materials inside. We are driven by fundamental physics questions relevant to improve the energy efficiency, speed, and precision of optical technologies such as sensors and novel computers. The two projects we offer are at the frontier of nanophotonics, statistical physics, and condensed matter. Both projects involve experiments and computer simulations of stochastic nonlinear dynamical systems, with a balance to be determined by your interests and skills. For both experiments and simulations, you will learn all the necessary methods & techniques in our group, and a PhD student or postdoc will be your daily supervisor.

Internship: Stochastic thermodynamics of cooperative optical sensing

Work Activities
Are two coupled optical cavities better than one for sensing? If so, how? And at what thermodynamic cost? In this project, you will answer these questions, experimentally and theoretically, by combining recent breakthroughs from our group at the crossroads of nanophotonics and statistical physics. You will perform experiments with single and coupled tunable optical cavities, allowing to easily, remotely, and swiftly, read out the presence of a perturbation using light. The perturbation will initially be a dielectric nanoparticle. If sufficiently large sensitivities are realized, we will consider a single absorbing molecule. The cavities will be driven by a monochromatic continuous wave laser which, at sufficiently high power, can elicit a nonlinear optical response of the cavity. You will explore how different nonlinear dynamical regimes can be exploited for sensing, and the influence of noise on the sensing performance of each regime. You will focus on understanding the fundamental trade-offs between speed, energy efficiency, and precision in sensing.
