Solid-state single photon sources for quantum sensing

  Research Group: School of Chemical and Process Engineering
Single photon sources are an important requirement for many quantum technology applications. For example, currently the most successful single photon sources are those produced using atom-cavity systems, quantum dots and colour centres in diamond crystals. Read more

A multi-spectral single photon sensor for enhanced 3D vision

Autonomous systems such as self-driving cars are increasingly relying on LIDAR systems for robust environmental perception, with single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) sensors, which detect and time individual photons of light, being one of the key underlying technologies. Read more

Exploring medical isotopes production with the photon beams

  Research Group: Healthcare Engineering
There is a growing demand for radioactive isotopes to be employed both in treatment and diagnostics. Suitable isotopes need to be producable in sufficiently large quantities and at affordable price. Read more

Next generation single-photon avalanche diode for emerging quantum technology applications

We are seeing the second quantum revolution, bringing quantum theory out of the lab. The advantage of quantum theory is opening a huge range of application in many sectors such as environment, data security, telecommunication, defence and aerospace etc. Read more

Single-photon depth imaging under extreme conditions

This PhD project will examine single-photon imaging in a number of extreme environments, including thorough atmospheric obscurants, scattering media and in extreme low-light environments. Read more

CDT-QTE: On-chip quantum cryptography using two-dimensional materials

Supervisory Team: Dr Yasir Noori, Prof Frederic Gardes, Prof Jize Yan. Project description: This project is part of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Quantum Technology Engineering at the University of Southampton. Read more

Doctor of Engineering (EngD) - Next generation long range laser rangefinders based on single photon detectors and new laser technologies (Thales and Heriot-Watt University)

  Research Group: CDT in Applied Photonics
Laser Rangefinders are a key element of modern sensor systems and can range up to 20km with an accuracy of less than 1m. Thales UK produced the first in-service laser rangefinder in 1965, just a few years after the invention of the laser, and have been designing and manufacturing laser systems ever since. Read more
