mm-Wave photonics in crystals – This project aims to create a new laser-based approach for generating frequencies of increased spectral purity and wider frequency range. This is significant as forefront areas such as quantum sensing and wireless communications that rely on ultra-precise measurement and ultra-sensitive detection require more adaptable, higher-purity, frequency sources.

In the recent past, it has been established beyond doubt that by leveraging the unique quantum properties of sub-atomic particles, information can yield unparalleled advantages in diverse disciplines of information processing including computing, communication, cryptography and control. In fact, protocols such as quantum key distribution accomplish tasks hitherto believed impossible. Notably, these protocols have been demonstrated in practice and research is underway to scale them up. We are shaping up towards emergence of a new age in information processing.

Project Description:

The Prins lab, in collaboration with the group of Carlos Antón Solanas (https://www.antonsolanaslab.com) is offering a fully funded 4-year PhD-positions at the Condensed Matter Physics Center of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM). The position is offered in the scope of the ERC-CoG EnVision project, focused on enabling controlled energy transport in semiconductors using a range of state-of-the-art time resolved microscopy techniques.

Project Description:

Applications are invited for a PhD position in theoretical quantum physics, to start between March 2024 and September 2024. The position will be hosted by the Dublin Institute of Advanced Studies (DIAS) and the student will be registered in Trinity College Dublin (TCD). The position is fully funded for 4 years.

Research area
