Job Offer: PhD Studentship - Quantum Key Distribution at Terahertz Frequencies:Job description:Qualification Type: PhD
A highly competitive EPSRC Quantum Technologies Doctoral Training Partnership Studentship offering the award of fees, together with a tax-free maintenance grant of £19,237 per year for 3.5 years. Training and support will also be provided. Lead manager's full name & email address Professor Mohsen Razavi - m.razavi@leeds.ac.uk Co-manager name(s) Dr Joshua Freeman - j.r.freeman@leeds.ac.uk Dr Wladislaw Michailow (University of Cambridge) The possibility of developing quantum computing machines that can break the widely used public key cryptosystems has required us to at new solutions for scenarios where long-term data security is needed. Quantum key distribution (QKD) is a technique that would provide the required level of data security but has so far been limited to fixed optical implementations. This project explores, both experimentally and theoretically, the use of Terahertz frequencies to enable wireless implementation of QKD.
