Quantum Optomechanical Thermodynamic Metrology

Due: May 1, 2025

$82,764

Description

Optomechanical systems, either naturally or through deliberate engineering, couple to multiple types of external stimuli, opening avenues to chip-scale sensor suites for many physical quantities. We are developing quantum optomechanical systems for primary sensing of temperature, pressure, and gas composition. The mass and intrinsic quantum noise of such systems provides embedded traceability to SI units. However, resolving quantum noise or molecular collision events with high precision in the presence of room-temperature thermal...

Grantor Contact InformationDaniel Schaeder Barker, Phone: 301 975 0544Grantor Emaildaniel.barker@nist.govOther Grantor InformationThe NRC Research Associateship Programs (RAP) are prestigious postdoctoral and senior research awards designed to provide promising scientists and engineers with high-quality research opportunities at federal laboratories and affiliated institutions. Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
