Bradley Hauer focuses on cavity optomechanical systems and superconducting circuits and their applications in metrology, quantum information and non-classical state preparation. His work straddles theoretical and applied research, from ideation and designing devices through to their fabrication and analysis.
Prior to joining IQC and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in 2024, he was an NSERC postdoctoral fellow at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Boulder. Hauer earned his bachelor’s and PhD in physics from the University of Alberta. During his PhD work, he studied low-temperature silicon optomechanics.
