FULLY FUNDED PhD SCHOLARSHIP IN CONDENSED MATTER ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
A fully funded PhD position is available for research in topologically ordered phases and their use in quantum devices and topological quantum computation.
We are looking for enthusiastic candidates to pursue simulations of strongly correlated topological phases: The goal of this PhD project is to create accurate microscopic models of topologically protected edge channels in fractional quantum Hall devices. The candidate will develop numerical simulations based on tensor network methods to investigate the equilibrium and non-equilibrium properties of fractional quantum Hall edge states. The project aims to achieve an understanding of quantum devices that may enable topological quantum computation, including both quantum Hall point contacts and interferometers. This research will offer exposure to both numerical and analytical methods for studying quantum many-body systems.
Required qualifications:
(i) strong academic record;
(ii) for international students: proficiency in English;
(iii) strong motivation to conduct computational research.
The successful candidate will be based in the School of Physical Sciences at the University of Kent's main campus in Canterbury. They will work within the Quantum Materials research theme of the school’s interdisciplinary Functional Materials Group, under the direct supervision of Dr Gunnar Möller.
Full funding is available for UK / EU candidates, while applicants from other countries are also eligible for the award, but would need to cover international student fees from other sources.
