PhD studentship at Toshiba’s Cambridge Research Laboratory in collaboration with Heriot-Watt University. The project, titled Miniaturised Quantum Systems for Satellite-Based Secure Networks, will start in October 2026 and focuses on developing next-generation hardware for satellite quantum networks. This includes miniaturising quantum encoders and decoders for deployment in resource-constrained environments, enabling global quantum-secured communication.
Job Responsibility:
Design, fabrication, and experimental testing of state-of-the-art satellite QKD systems
Photonic integration of quantum encoders to reduce size and complexity
Development of novel quantum state generation architectures for improved performance and reliability
Exploring architectures that balance performance with size, weight, and power constraints for satellite deployment
Requirements:
A first-class or upper second-class degree in a relevant subject i.e. Physics, Electronic Engineering
Strong background in optics and quantum physics
Motivation to join a multidisciplinary team and undertake cutting-edge experimental research
