Quantum Simulation for Many-Body Physics with Ultracold Atoms
Quantum simulation is a powerful approach for exploring complex quantum physics by using a quantum system, such as an ultracold atomic gas experiment, to mimic another desired quantum model. Read more
Biosciences, Geography and Physics : Fully Funded PhD in the Theoretical Explorations on the Lattice with Orthogonal and Symplectic group (TELOS): toward the Exascale
High-Performance Computing is entering a revolutionary phase characterised by Exascale capabilities, with step-changes in technology enabling numerically intensive processes to answer outstanding foundational questions. Read more
Ecological geometry: applying geometric and topological concepts and tools to model how animals interact with each other and their environment
These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more
