PhD in Metasurface-Based Atom Trapping for Scalable Neutral-Atom Quantum Computers University of Southampton in United Kingdom

This PhD project will develop integrated quantum buffers for photonic quantum computing , addressing the challenge of temporarily storing photons while measurements and feed-forward operations take place in a quantum processor. The research will combine rare-earth-ion-doped crystals with silicon nitride photonic circuits to create compact devices that can replace the hundreds of metres of optical fibre currently used to provide photon delays. The project focuses on thulium-doped yttrium aluminiu...

Integrated photonic chips for neutral-atom quantum computers is a PhD project at the University of Southampton focused on developing the photonic technology required to scale neutral-atom quantum computers. You will design integrated photonic chips that generate, shape and steer laser beams for controlling arrays of individual atoms. The research addresses the limitations of current free-space optical systems, which rely on complex arrangements of lenses, mirrors and spatial light modulators tha...
