PhD Vacancy - Rydberg Quantum Sensing Technologies for Resilient Communications

Create job alert
Developing sustainable ICT and future telecommunications systems (e.g., 6G, quantum comms, AI-assist) with a bold focus on resilience has become a key national priority. Congested radio spectrum and coexistence of broadband wireless systems produce interferences and increase the real risk of failing future telecommunication infrastructure. Highly sensitive receivers and the ability to measure weak signals (comparable with noises and interferences) have become a very challenging metrological problem.


 


Recently, non-invasive Rydberg quantum sensing technology (RQST) has emerged as an enabling paradigm that offers highly sensitive and traceable measurements of RF fields over a wide frequency range and have become a very attractive solution. Different designs are reported but their insight understanding, especially from metrology perspective is still very limited.


 


Aligned with the EPSRC priority areas in digital futures and quantum technologies, this project is to conduct a comprehensive study on RQST using both theoretical and experimental approaches with the main objectives: 1-Study the RQST and identify the suitable frequency range and achievable sensitivity; 2-Develop state-of-the-art Rydberg quantum sensing testbed, evaluate its measurement accuracy and sensitivity; 3-Apply the RQST for resilient communications and identify its advantages and limitations (e.g., sensitivity, stability, traceability in complex environments); 4-Develop methodologies for characterising resilient communication performance of emerging telecommunication systems in complex electromagnetic environments using the RQST.

How to Find Hidden Quantum Computing Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, IOP & More

Quantum computing is one of the most exciting and disruptive fields in science and technology. As the UK invests in a national quantum strategy—with funding for hardware, software, cryptography, and applications—demand for quantum talent is growing rapidly. But here’s what most job seekers miss: many quantum computing roles are never posted on public job boards. Instead, opportunities are shared quietly through research partnerships, industry working groups, spinout collaborations, and professional bodies. In this guide, we’ll show you how to access hidden quantum computing jobs in the UK by leveraging organisations like the Institute of Physics (IOP), BCS, Quantum Technology Hubs, UKRI, and other key communities. We’ll explore how to use membership directories, SIGs (Special Interest Groups), CPD events, and project funding announcements to gain visibility, build relationships, and find roles long before they’re advertised.

How to Get a Better Quantum Computing Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy in the emerging field of quantum computing can feel particularly discouraging, especially after years of specialised training and research. But as the UK continues to invest in quantum technologies across academia, defence, computing and cryptography, new roles are opening in both startups and national programmes. Whether you're a physicist, quantum software engineer, hardware specialist, or quantum algorithm researcher, this guide will help you turn redundancy into an opportunity for career growth.

Quantum Computing Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Work Out Your True Worth in Seconds

Why yesterday’s pay survey is meaningless in today’s quantum landscape Ask a Quantum Software Engineer debugging Qiskit kernels at midnight, a Cryogenic Hardware Engineer coaxing qubits below 10 mK, or a Quantum Algorithm Researcher squeezing decoherence budgets: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The honest answer shifts faster than a Rabi oscillation. Since early 2024, the UK Government funded £2.5 billion across its National Quantum Strategy, Amazon Braket and Azure Quantum slashed circuit prices, & post‑quantum cryptography mandates yanked quantum literacy into cyber road‑maps. Each shock nudges salary bands. Any PDF salary guide printed last year looks like an outdated calibration curve—blind to the silicon spin‑qubit breakthroughs in Cambridge, the Oxford ion‑trap scale‑ups, or the London quantum‑software unicorn that closed a £200 million Series C. To swap guesswork for evidence, QuantumComputingJobs.co.uk has distilled a transparent, three‑factor formula. Feed in your discipline, region, & seniority & you’ll instantly see a realistic 2025 salary benchmark—no stale averages, no vague “competitive” claims. This article unpacks that formula, highlights the forces pushing quantum‑computing pay skywards, & gives five practical moves to lift your market value inside ninety days.
