PhD Opportunities in Quantum Communication in Ireland

This funded Doctor of Philosophy project at the University of Southampton will investigate the integration of quantum communication into emerging wireless networks, supporting the development of global quantum networking technologies toward 6G. The research focuses on continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD), in which information is modulated onto the phase or amplitude of an electromagnetic wave. By using off-the-shelf wireless transceivers, CV-QKD could enable quantum-secured appl...
