PhD in Quantum Computational Supremacy In Multiphoton Interferometry

For PhD in Quantum Computational Supremacy In Multiphoton Interferometry, tuition costs 17,900 GBP per year, and applications for the Sep 2027 intake are due by Aug 31, 2027.

The PhD in Quantum Computational Supremacy in Multiphoton Interferometry centres around a three-year full-time or six-year part-time project supervised by Dr. Vincenzo Tamma and Professor Paolo Facchi at the University of Bari. The research focuses on quantum computational supremacy, involving quantum information processing, scalable boson sampling experiments, and quantum computational speed-up. The goal is to develop a versatile platform for quantum computational supremacy beyond standard boson sampling, enhancing robustness to losses and scalability for higher numbers of photons. Students will benefit from the expertise within the Quantum Science and Technology Hub at the University of Portsmouth, as well as collaborations with international experimentalists.
