COMPETITION OPENING DATE 29 JULY, 2025

The research work will be carried out in the Department of Solid State Physics at the Institute of Experimental Physics, Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw, under the NCN OPUS 26 Project No. GR 7248 entitled: “Tunable Photonic Structures Emulating Low-Dimensional Semiconductor Systems” DEC-2023/51/B/ST3/03025. The program will be carried out in cooperation with the Military University of Technology. The project focuses on the application of light in birefringent optical cavities to simulate quantum problems in solid-state physics at room temperature.

The key objectives of this project are:

1. 
   
2. Quasiparticle Design: Developing light-based quasiparticles within photonic crystals that emulate the behavior of matter quasiparticles in solid-state systems. This includes investigating self-organization processes in soft matter.
3. 
   
4. Theoretical Framework Development: Creating effective Hamiltonians to describe light propagation in periodic structures. These Hamiltonians will mimic massive particles with spin, simplifying optical modeling and accelerating numerical computations.
5. 
   
6. Frontier Exploration in Quantum Optics: Investigating the intersection of quantum optics and effective Hamiltonians, particularly focusing on single-photon spin-orbit coupling in structured optical cavities.

The research will utilize low-dimensional photonic structures in microcavities filled with structured liquid crystals, enabling precise fabrication and control of photonic spin-orbit coupling (SOC).

The successful candidate will join a dynamic and interdisciplinary team working at the forefront of photonic simulations. This role offers the opportunity to collaborate with leading experts in the field, access state-of-the-art facilities, and contribute to significant advancements in quantum photonics.

The candidates have to conform to the conditions stated in art. 113 of Higher Education Law dated 20.07.2018. (Journal of Laws of the Republic of Poland 2024, item 1571 with further amendments).
