PhD studentship in the Development of a Quantum Microwave Sensor for the Neutrino Mass Measurement 2023

PhD studentship in the Geonium Chip group, part of the Sussex Centre for Quantum Technologies.

PhD project:

The Sussex Centre for Quantum Technologies is focused on fundamental quantum science and on the development of novel quantum technologies. It hosts several experimental and theoretical groups that cover an extensive research area, such as microwave quantum sensors, quantum computation and communications with trapped ions, theoretical quantum optics, quantum metrology, ultra-cold atoms in atom chips, and others. Sussex offers a unique environment for highly motivated PhD candidates, providing advanced training in a wide variety of experimental and theoretical skills.
