PhD Opportunity in Theoretical Quantum Optics, Open Quantum Systems and Quantum Information University of East Anglia in United Kingdom

This four-year PhD project in advanced signalling and detection in quantum communications explores how quantum communication systems can remain effective when quantum states and communication channels are uncertain. The research will design and optimise resilient quantum signalling constellations for conveying classical information. In particular, the project will investigate constellation designs that maximise minimum trace distance and uniform Holevo-x information, addressing the limits impose...

Durham University’s Department of Physics is advertising a Postdoctoral Research Associate position in the Quantum Light and Matter research section. The project, “Quantum networking at telecom wavelengths with Yb qubits” , is led by Dr Tobias Franzen and funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) . The research sits at the intersection of AMO physics , quantum optics , cavity QED , optical tweezers , cold atoms, and quantum networking. The team is developing a modu...

This PhD project will develop high-bandwidth quantum frequency converters for future hybrid quantum networks. The research addresses a central challenge in quantum networking: quantum technologies often operate at incompatible optical wavelengths. Visible single-photon sources, telecom communication channels and atomic quantum memories therefore require interfaces capable of translating photons between wavelength regimes. The project will use four-wave mixing in warm rubidium vapour to develop t...

[Not Specified] This PhD studentship at the University of Birmingham focuses on the theoretical and computational study of non-equilibrium quantum many-body dynamics . The project examines quantum matter far from equilibrium, with two central goals: understanding the dynamics of interacting quantum systems and exploring how thermodynamic behaviour emerges from them. The research sits at the intersection of modern quantum theory and condensed matter physics. It asks how complex macroscopic behavi...
