Gravity
Welcome to the Pikovski quantum research lab
Our group is dedicated to theoretical research at the intersection of quantum technologies and fundamental physics. We are motivated by blue-sky research, while centered around next-generation quantum experiments in systems like atomic clocks, opto-mechanical resonators, matter-waves or photonics.
Open position
We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to join our group. Research will span topics in gravitational physics at the interface with quantum information science.

Selected research results
General Research Interests
Quantum optics and information theory + Gravitational effects in quantum systems
Some of the broader research questions we work on:
What are unique features of quantum physics? How can we make use of them?
Which fundamental principles of gravity and quantum theory can we test? How do they intertwine?
Are quantum effects confined to the atomic realm, or do they show at macroscopic scales? What experiments can reveal that?
Is gravity quantized, or is quantum theory modified? Can we design laboratory experiments to probe quantum gravity?
