Southampton Business School has an ambitious quality-driven strategy of growth and our research is recognised throughout the global academic community.
The University of Southampton is expanding its PhD research in the area of Quantum Technology Engineering. In addition to the research project outlined below you will receive substantial training in scientific, technical, and commercial skills. Existing techniques to encrypt data in our Internet networks are vulnerable to being easily breakable by emerging quantum computers. IBM has recently released a 1000 qubit quantum computer and the challenge of finding alternative techniques to encrypt our data is becoming ever more urgent. Fortunately, quantum cryptography is a suitable solution to overcome this challenge. However, quantum cryptography requires unique lasers that can emit single photons and entangled photon pairs.
Join the forefront of Quantum Technology Engineering at the University of Southampton. In collaboration with esteemed partners Caltech (California Institute of Technology) and Aquark Technologies Ltd., we are offering a unique PhD opportunity to develop ultra-high-Q ring resonators, pivotal in advancing atom trap clock technology. This project is not just about research; it's about making a tangible impact in the field of quantum engineering.
