Are you a student looking for a funded PhD in theoretical quantum optical materials? Check out this project 'Room temperature quantum technology' as part of the Centre for Doctoral Training in Applied Quantum Technologies. Application deadline: 31/01/27.

The project, titled ‘Room-temperature quantum technology’ will develop multi-scale quantum theory models of new superradiant/superfluorescent upconversion nanoparticles, which are emerging as a new class of quantum optical materials. For a full description visit this page and scroll down to matching project title.

This builds upon prior work by our group in the field of superfluorescent upconversion nanoparticles and will compliment future experimental work.

1st supervisor: Dr Benjamin Hourahine (Strathclyde Physics). 2nd supervisor: https://www.strath.ac.uk/staff/kirtonpeterdr/(Strathclyde Physics). 3rd supervisor: Dr Lewis E. MacKenzie (Pure and Applied Chemistry, Strathclyde).

The CDT primary funds students at UK-rates of stipend and tuition fees, but there are a limited number of places for international students.
