Research Statement

MIAO Haixing’s research focuses on gravitational-wave instrument science and high-precision quantum measurements. His main interests include quantum techniques for reducing the quantum noise, fundamental quantum limit of linear measurements, and quantum optomechanics for new physics. Recent research topics include

Kilohertz gravitational-wave detector (for detecting the kHz post-merger gravitational-wave signals from binary neutron stars to study extreme matters)
Parity-time (PT) symmetric quantum measurement schemes (to achieve Heisenberg-limited measurement)
Testing the quantum nature of non-relativistic gravity using tabletop experiments)
Detecting axion-like dark matter with laser interferometers
We have openings for both PhD students and postdoctoral fellows. Please contact me if you are interested in joining our group.
