Towards single-photon switching via two-photon absorption in Rb vapour

University of Bath
Department of Physics

Dr J Nunn

Application Deadline: 27 January 2019

If we could induce a strong interaction between photons (mediated by atoms), this would allow the implementation of quantum logic operations at room temperature, opening the way to scalable (cryogenics-free) quantum computing.

Quantum-Enhanced Imaging in Extreme Environments

Heriot-Watt University
School of Engineering & Physical Sciences

Prof G Buller

Application Deadline: 8 February 2019

Single-Photon and photon-pair correlated imaging has opened up a number of exciting possibilities for three-dimensional imaging in extreme environments such as imaging through obscurants (eg fog, smoke), and underwater.

Single photon emitters in atomically thin 2D semiconductors for quantum technology applications

University of Sheffield
Department of Physics and Astronomy

Research Group: Inorganic Semiconductors

Prof A Tartakovskii

Application Deadline: 23 January 2019

Following the discovery of graphene a large family of layered crystals has attracted significant attention. Surprisingly, single photon emission from unusual defect states was found in several 2D semiconductors called transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs).
