PhD Studentship: Building Heterogenous Quantum-Dot–Atom Repeaters: Photon Generation, Storage and Conversion for Quantum Networks
The University of Manchester Manchester £21,805 pa
Builds hybrid quantum-dot–rubidium interfaces for frequency conversion and storage of single photons in warm alkali vapour, combining device fabrication, cryogenic QD optics and atomic-vapour experiments. The work spans optical-setup design, III–V semiconductor and atomic physics, quantum optics and numerical modelling of EIT and four-wave mixing, with links to metro-link quantum network trials.
