We are looking for a PhD student to join our interdisciplinary team of students, postdocs, and senior researchers developing systems for quantum technologies.Nonlinear parametric photonics is used to control quantum systems and as sources for photonic qubits. Researchers at the University of Southampton have led the development of quasi-phase-matched non-linear systems. This project will combine novel fabrication approaches with well-developed commercial materials to expand the operation range into the blue and ultra-violet wavelength regions for atom and ion trap quantum systems.
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.This project will create new ultra-low-loss optical components, reducing losses and allowing us to create large, entangled quantum states. In particular, the project will focus on the development of key missing components – quantum memories and switchable delays.
