EPSRC CDT in Applied Quantum Technologies
The Centre for Doctoral Training in Applied Quantum Technologies addresses the national need to train cohorts of future quantum scientists and engineers for this emerging industry. The training program is a partnership between the University of Strathclyde, the University of Glasgow and Heriot-Watt University, in collaboration with more than 30 UK industry partners, with 16 PhD positions available to start in 2025.
The PhD Programme
The core of each student’s doctoral training programme is a cutting-edge, original research project designed in collaboration between the primary academic supervisor, the student and, where applicable, the industrial partner. Projects span the three broad areas of
- Quantum Measurement and Sensing
- Quantum Computing and Simulation
- Quantum Communications and Networks.
Complementary to the research projects, we will provide dedicated lecture courses covering both the theoretical foundation and the experimental techniques of quantum technologies, along with a variety of summer schools, workshops and conferences.
Work on the PhD project will continue throughout all four years, ensuring that students are embedded in a research environment from day one, while benefitting from cohort- based training in the foundations and applications of quantum technology, as well as skills training and engagement activities with leading industries and through outreach.
Our Projects
A full list of the available research projects can be found under each theme:
- Quantum Measurement and Sensing
- Quantum Computing and Simulation
- Quantum Communications and Networks
How to Apply
Applicants should have or be expecting to graduate with a good degree in a relevant subject. Students will be based at either Strathclyde, Glasgow or Heriot-Watt and studentships are available for Home and International students. For details on eligibility, see our website.
The application process is explained on our website but note that the application is a two-part process with one application form going direct to the CDT and another via the host institution. If you have any queries in the meantime, feel free to email us on enquiries@aqt.ac.uk.
