Funding is available for a studentship, based at Hub partner the University of Bristol, working to develop new techniques to create quantum networks and improve on existing technologies to make these networks feasible and commercially viable. The project has a very broad scope and the successful applicant will work together with the team at Bristol to focus the scope of the project based on the applicant’s preferences. Different scopes may include:

• photonic technologies
• interfacing of our network to other quantum systems like quantum sensors and quantum computers
• scaling quantum networks up to a global scale
• linking to ongoing satellite quantum communication efforts
• incorporating a diverse set of commercial and custom-made quantum communication systems into the network.

This PhD will be supervised by Dr Siddarth Joshi and any enquiries should be sent to him via sk.joshi@bristol.ac.uk
