About the project

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.
 
You will engage in cutting-edge work in our state-of-the-art cleanrooms, gaining hands-on experience in microfabrication of these resonators, testing and integration with miniature atom chip clocks. You will also benefit from comprehensive training in scientific, technical, and commercial skills, preparing you for a thriving future career in Quantum Manufacturing.
 
This project offers the chance to work in a dynamic, collaborative environment, alongside leading experts and innovative peers. You will emerge not just with a degree, but with skills and experiences that are highly valued in academia and industry.
