معرفی
Mika Sillanpää is a Professor at the Department of Applied Physics, Aalto University, and serves as a Professor (Associate Professor) at the Centre of Excellence in Quantum Technology and the Quantum Nanomechanics group. His research focuses on experimental superconducting nanoelectronics at milli-Kelvin temperatures, particularly Josephson junction quantum circuits and microwave optomechanics.
- Doctoral degree from Helsinki University of Technology (2005)
- Master's degree from Helsinki University of Technology (1999)
Research Interests:
Prof. Sillanpää has pioneered low-noise amplification schemes using microwave optomechanics and demonstrated quantum squeezing/entanglement in micromechanical devices. Key projects include GUANTUM (quantum-gravity limits) and MQSens (quantum sensing with mechanical resonators).
Scientific Contributions:
His work spans quantum back-action evading measurements, noiseless amplification, and TLS detection in resonators. Recent publications highlight Casimir force measurements between superconductors and long-lived electromechanical systems using silicon-carbide membranes.
