Join our cutting-edge research group to revolutionize photonic quantum technologies!

Integrated photonics plays a pivotal role in advancing photonic quantum technologies, enabling ground-breaking quantum optics experiments and building the basis for photonic quantum computing and quantum networks.

We are looking for:
1: A PhD student to design and operate integrated photonic circuits for networked quantum applications.
2: A PhD student to pioneer advanced quantum photonics experiments using large-scale integrated processors.

The University of Exeter has a number of fully funded EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council) Doctoral Landscape Award (EPSRC DLA) studentships for 2025/26 entry.

Students will be given sector-leading training and development with outstanding facilities and resources. The EPSRC studentships will be offered across the whole of EPSRC’s remit, with projects at the interface of disciplines and collaborations with users where appropriate. Studentships will be awarded to outstanding applicants, the distribution will be overseen by the University’s EPSRC Strategy Group in partnership with the Doctoral College.

Project title: Quantum technologies for energy and information storage (theory)

Supervisor: Dr. Charles Downing

A 3-year fully funded PhD position is available at the Quantum Information and Foundations Group (QUINFOG) of the Spanish National Research Council (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas – CSIC) in Madrid, Spain. QUINFOG is dedicated to addressing fundamental challenges in Quantum Physics and Quantum Information, with a particular focus on developing innovative quantum and quantum-inspired technologies. Our team is composed of young and dynamic scientists working at the forefront of quantum science and technology.

We are seeking a talented and motivated PhD student to work on the theory of ultra-cold atoms and Bell correlations in the group led by prof. E. Witkowska (http://sites.google.com/site/ewiitk/). The successful candidate will be part of the SHENG project realized with the experimental group of Prof. Li You from Tsinghua University in China.

The Niels Bohr Institute invites applicants for two PhD fellowships in Theoretical Quantum Optics and Quantum Information. The projects will be part of the Center for Hybrid quantum Networks (Hy-Q), which aims at making quantum networks based on single photon sources and mechanical oscillators.
