Offer: PhD Studentship - On Demand Entangled Photons for Quantum Optics:Job description:Qualification Type: PhD Award summary 100% fees covered, and a minimum tax-free annual living allowance of £19,237 (2024/25 UKRI rate). Overview The School of Mathematics, Statistics and Physics invites applications for a PhD position in Physics, under the supervision of Prof. Noel Healy Integral to the second quantum revolution is the entangled photon. These emergent particles are essential in many technologies including quantum cryptography and quantum computing. This PhD project will develop an ultra-efficient platform to generate on-demand entangled photons for the future of quantum technologies. We are seeking for an outstanding student to do research in experimental physics to develop this next-generation technology. The student will have access to the very cutting edge of skills, materials, nanofabrication, and device characterization. Postgraduate students at Newcastle University can also take part in a range of paid teaching activities, with training provided. The prosperous candidate will join the Photon Science Laboratory at the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Physics at Newcastle University and will work closely with, including an opportunity to visit, our partners at the National University of Singapore. Number of awards: 1 Start date: 16th September 2024 Award duration: 3.5 years Sponsor: EPSRC Doctoral Training Partnerships (DTP) managers Prof. Noel Healy Dr Vasu Kalangi Eligibility criteria You must have, or expect to gain, a minimum 2:1 Honours degree or international equivalent in a subject significant to the proposed PhD project (inc. computing, mathematics, engineering etc.).
