Available funded positions

 

1- PhD studentships on Novel Quantum bit platforms

Deadline for applications 19-February-2024

Primary Supervisor:  Professor Saverio Russo

Secondary Supervisor:  Professor Monica Craciun

Funding: fully funded 4-year studentship including Tuition fees (UK/EU) and an annual stipend at current research council rates

This doctoral research project seeks to advance the frontier of quantum information science by developing experimentally innovative platforms for the realization of quantum bits (qubits) utilizing polaritons. Polaritons, hybrid particles resulting from the strong coupling between excitons and photons, exhibit unique quantum properties that make them promising candidates for the development of robust and scalable quantum computing architectures. The outcomes of this doctoral study have the potential to not only advance our fundamental understanding of quantum phenomena but also to pave the way for practical applications in the emerging era of quantum technologies.

Contact for informal enquiries: Prof. Saverio Russo, email (s.russo@exeter.ac.uk) or telephone (01392) 725195.

Application criteria: 

Applicants should be a highly motivated individual with a Master or Bachelor degree, or equivalent, in physics, engineering, chemistry or materials science.
