Rebecca Schmieg is currently a postdoctoral fellow at Quantop after just finishing her PhD program in the same group.
Her work at Quantop at NBI mainly focuses on experiments based on room-temperature atomic ensembles, exploiting the collective spin state of cesium atoms. While at Quantop and NBI, her research first focused on implementing a room-temperature, on-demand single-photon source with built-in quantum memory. As a second project, Rebecca was involved in an experiment focusing on obtaining quantum-enhanced sensing for magnetic induction tomography (MIT). MIT is a non-invasive imaging technique allowing one to get information about the conductive properties of a non-magnetic sample, with potential biomedical applications in the future. Continuing her efforts from her PhD, Rebecca will focus on pushing the experiment further as a postdoctoral fellow. Her everyday work includes working with optics and lasers, experimental control (digital and analog), supervision and instruction of students, data acquisition and analysis, planning the next practical goals, and disseminating research activities and results.
