Opportunity for a PhD student in Entanglement, quantum communication, and tests of quantum physics Quantum communication networks will be essential for novel technologies like quantum sensing, quantum computing and quantum simulation. A more immediate use for quantum communication is quantum key distribution (QKD). While QKD promises secure communication guaranteed by the laws of physics, practical implementations often have limitations due to device imperfections. This can be overcome by advanced quantum communication protocols. You will perform research targeting such next-generation protocols to help Slovenia and Europe in creating a European Quantum Network. The topics for the research to be performed are:
For this project, R. Kaltenbaek will employ one PhD student with an expected starting date of January 1st, 2023. |
