PhD in Reconfigurable Quantum Photonic Chips for Quantum Computing and Networks University of Southampton in United Kingdom

PhD project: Quantum Signals via Hollow-Core Optical Fibres at the University of Southampton , United Kingdom. The project is based in the Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC) within the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences. This research will investigate hollow-core optical fibres as a universal transmission medium for quantum and classical communications. The fibres are designed to guide light through an air-filled core surrounded by a structured glass material, enabling low-loss tran...

This is a PhD opportunity in the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences, focused on silicon nitride photonics , quantum photonics , nonlinear optics , precision sensing , and integrated photonics . The project aims to understand and reduce optical loss by linking material properties, waveguide geometry, fabrication conditions, and device design to propagatio...

This PhD project at the University of Southampton will develop compact quantum imaging sensors based on multilayer metasurfaces and entanglement-enabled holography. The research aims to recover image information from photon-pair correlations while addressing strong background noise and optical phase distortion. Metasurfaces are planar nanostructures that shape light. By stacking layers with complementary optical functions, the project will investigate compact modules for beam shaping, beam split...

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in the Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC) / Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences.

You will combine modelling with hands-on experiments to design, build, and test next-generation multicore amplifiers and optical c...

This PhD project will advance large-area metasurface optics for quantum technology , with applications in quantum imaging and cold atom trapping. Metaoptics use precisely arranged sub-wavelength nanostructures to create ultra-thin optical components that can control light, polarisation, aberrations, and wavefronts. These devices have the potential to replace bulky lenses and mirrors while making quantum systems smaller, more efficient, and easier to integrate. The research will investigate the d...
