PhD Studentships

Fully-funded PhD Studentship opportunity focused on the development of a hybrid microcomb source that integrates both classical and quantum states within a single system. This is a fantastic chance to engage in groundbreaking research at the forefront of photonics innovation. The PhD is aligned with the UK Quantum Missions and will intersect with a number of highly prestigious research projects running within the centre, including: . UKRI EPSRC UK Hub for Quantum-Enabled Position, Navigation and Timing (QEPNT), EPSRC Programme Grant: Chip-Scale Atomic Systems for a Quantum Navigator, and STFC-NSERC UK-Canada Joint Action for Quantum Technology (MICROQ): Microcombs for Quantum Networking and Synchronisation.
