We are sharing a specialised consulting opportunity for experienced Physics Experts in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics, Quantum Optics, and Quantum Information with strong expertise in Bogoliubov transformations, covariance-matrix methods, homodyne detection, quantum-noise analysis, sideband photocurrent spectra, and lossy quantum optical systems. Selected professionals will contribute to a frontier research-level benchmarking project involving cascaded optical parametric amplifiers, SU(1,1) interferometers, two-mode squeezing, and realistic loss mechanisms. Contributors may participate as Solvers, Auditors, or Adjudicators depending on expertise and research experience. No prior experience in AI is required.
Key Responsibilities
