quantum cryptography

Overview

I am recruiting PhD students for a newly formed group at the National University of Singapore (https://www.physics.nus.edu.sg/faculty/ernest-tan-ying-zhe/), on the topics of quantum information theory, quantum cryptography, and convex optimization applications in those areas.

Toshiba Europe Ltd has been at the forefront of quantum technology research, particularly quantum communications and quantum key distribution (QKD), for over two decades. Our research underpins deployed Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) systems and continues to drive innovation in next‑generation quantum‑secure networking. An established leader in photonic integrated circuit (PIC) research for QKD, Toshiba is accelerating the transition of PIC-based QKD devices from lab to market.

With over two decades of research, innovation and development, Toshiba is at the forefront of quantum science and technology. In quantum communications, Toshiba commercial quantum key distribution systems offer the highest key rates on the market and play a major role in the worldwide deployment of secure quantum networks. Photonic integrated circuits are set to revolutionize the architecture and capabilities of such systems and enable large-scale networks by integrating the quantum optical hardware onto miniature photonic chips.

The Department of Mathematics at King’s College London (https://www.kcl.ac.uk/mathematics) is looking for motivated candidates wishing to pursue a PhD in Quantum Cryptography under the supervision of Roger Colbeck (https://www.kcl.ac.uk/people/roger-colbeck). The aim of this field is to exploit the properties of quantum systems to enable provably secure communication.

Are you passionate about developing soft- and hardware for embedded systems (specifically FPGA) and quantum physics gets you excited too? Then this role might be just for you! As part of our multi-disciplinary team, you will be actively driving our embedded system design and development for our quantum systems. See our webpage for more details about the position.
