Electronic and Electrical Engineering: Quantum Technologies EPSRC DTP Funded PhD Scholarship: Diamond NV Quantum Sensor
2 months ago
Funding providers: Quantum Technologies EPSRC DTP
Subject areas: Quantum technology, Applied physics, Electronic science and technology
Project start date:
- 1 October 2024 (Enrolment open from mid-September)
Project description:
Sensors play a critical role in many electronic systems, providing important data to power our decision-making. Apart from general physical and chemical sensors, quantum sensors rely on quantum particles to conduct measurement and are able to have many orders of magnitude more sensitive than traditional sensors. Many quantum sensors are based on special materials, such as nitrogen vacancy centres in diamond (Diamond NV), which is a photoluminescent point defect in diamond. The Diamond NV has been extensively utilised to achieve quantum computing and processing in information technology, biosensing, microwave and magnetic field detecting, and various other applications in diverse fields, due to their superior performances in long-lived coherence time, single-photon generation, and many other properties. In this PhD project, built upon the research group’s previous research on this topic, the student will be undertaking ground-breaking research in Diamond NV quantum sensors, from fundamental simulations of material properties using density functional theory, to characterisation and integration of the material into functional sensing devices.
