The newly-established “Quantum Opto-Electronics” research group of Prof. Tomasz Smoleński at the Department of Physics, University of Basel, Switzerland (https://smolenski-lab.com ), is looking for a highly-motivated and self-driven PhD candidate. The group will utilize low-temperature magneto-optical and quantum-optical spectroscopy to investigate strongly correlated electronic, excitonic, and spin phenomena in newly-engineered, tunable, low-dimensional quantum materials based on van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures. The overarching goal of our research is to realize new phases of matter and explore their stability, quantum phase transitions, and quasiparticle excitations with implications for novel quantum technologies. To this end, we will design and assemble new classes of gate-tunable vdW devices and investigate them in cryogenic experiments using newly-implemented optical sensing techniques.
