Supervisory Team: Prof Corin Gawith, Dr Goronwy Tawy
Project description:
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.
Nonlinear parametric photonics is used to control quantum systems as well 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.
If you are interested, please contact the supervisor for more information: Corin Gawith [email protected]
