PhD Studentship: Quantum Control of Magnetic Processes
3 weeks ago
Project title: Quantum control of magnetic processes
Supervisory Team: Prof Ilya Kuprov, Dr Marina Carravetta
Project description: The University of Southampton is expanding its PhD research in the area of Quantum Technology Engineering. In addition to the research project outlined below you will receive substantial training in scientific, technical, and commercial skills.
Magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging are quantum technologies that use spin – a property of elementary particles that gives them magnetic moments. Strong magnetic fields do not harm chemical systems or biological tissues, they are therefore widely used in chemistry, pharmacology, and medicine.
Both technologies require elaborate hardware, control algorithms, and data processing methods; this project is about improving those. You will be using quantum control theory and machine learning methods to improve speed, sensitivity, and resolution of magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging.
This project will develop skills and expertise in supercomputing, artificial intelligence, digital modelling, quantum technologies, nuclear magnetic resonance and magnetic resonance imaging.
If you are interested, please contact the supervisor for more information: Ilya Kuprov
