About the project
Can nuclear spins steer a levitated nanoparticle? This project develops theory for using nuclear magnetic resonance to control its centre-of-mass motion and rotation. Working closely with experimentalists, you will explore spin–motion coupling as a route to quantum states of massive objects and new approaches to quantum sensing and information processing.
How can nuclear spins be coupled coherently to the motion of a levitated nanoparticle? This project will develop theoretical models for controlling both translation and rotation through nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Magnetic-field gradients can convert spin dynamics into forces on a particle’s centre of mass, while spin–rotation interactions can exchange angular momentum with its mechanical rotation.
You will investigate realistic control schemes, including radio-frequency pulse sequences, magnetic-field gradients and resonant driving, and assess how spin relaxation, mechanical damping, thermal noise and optical readout affect their performance.
For rotation, the work will examine coupling associated with the Einstein–de Haas and Barnett effects, including the roles of nuclear-spin anisotropy and quadrupolar interactions. The aim is to identify practical regimes in which spin states can prepare, control or read out mechanical motion, and to establish how these ideas could progress towards spatial quantum superpositions of massive objects and the use of nuclear spins coupled to mechanical modes for quantum computation and sensing.
This is a theory project with close interaction with experimental researchers working on levitated optomechanics and NMR. You will build skills in quantum and classical dynamics, numerical modelling and magnetic-resonance methods, helping guide future experiments in quantum metrology and information processing.

Research interests
• Hendrik's main research interests concern experimental tests of fundamental theories of Nature by table-top experiments but also in space. Some tests are concerned with the large mass limit of the quantum superposition principle, which forms the basis of quantum mechanics. Other experiments are concerned with testing the interplay between quantum mechanics and gravitation in the low energy limit.
• The Ulbricht group performs quantum experimental research on the preparation and analysis of massive systems in non-classical states by various techniques. They pioneer so-called levitated opto- and magneto-mechanics experiments, where light and magnetic fields are used to both trap and control nano- and micro-particles in vacuum. Please see the Ulbricht group webpages for more details.
