1. Funded PhD Position in Quantum Error Correction in a dual species Rydberg Array (QuERy)
Summary of PhD Position:
The project is focused on development of a dual-species platform for neutral atom quantum computing to address the major barriers to scaling existing platforms from 100s to thousands of qubits, namely extending atom array trapping lifetimes through integration in a cryogenic environment and enabling active error correction through the ability to perform cross-talk free, state-selective local measurements.
Application Deadline: 1 April 2026
2. Funded PhD Position in Graph optimisation using a neutral atom quantum computer
Summary of PhD Position:
This project will utilise the advanced SQuAre neutral atom quantum computing platform developed at Strathclyde, offering programable control of up to 225 individual atomic qubits. The aim of this project is to explore and develop new quantum algorithms for solving graph optimisation problems relevant for material science, quantum chemistry and real-world industry problems relating to logistics, aerospace and fintech.

3. Funded PhD Position in Sculpting Light: Femtosecond Laser Inscription & Chemical Etching of Laser Gain Media
Summary of PhD Position:
This EngD offers the chance to explore how light itself can be used as a precision tool for materials engineering. You will investigate the combined use of femtosecond laser inscription and chemical etching to create three-dimensional structures from laser gain media; and demonstrate the construction of optical components and laser cavities that cannot be produced by conventional machining.
Application Deadline: 31 January 2026
4. Funded PhD Position in Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) optical wireless communications
Summary of PhD Position:
Enabling communication beyond the line-of-sight (LoS) paradigm is crucial for enhancing the link availability and system flexibility of optical wireless communication (OWC). However, several challenges must be addressed to make non-LoS links practically viable. This project aims to develop a comprehensive channel model for deep ultraviolet (UV) non-LoS OWC and to design advanced communication and signal processing techniques to improve the performance of non-LoS OWC.
