Summary

7th in the UK for our research environment in Physics in REF 2021 (Times Higher Education)

Whether you’re an engineer with an interest in quantum computing, a physicist with a passion for practical technologies, or a mathematician with an aptitude for experimental work, this PhD is the next step to a successful career in quantum technologies in areas such as:

  • practical quantum computers

  • quantum algorithms and quantum error correction

  • quantum networks

  • quantum sensors

  • the modelling power of quantum simulators.

Quantum technology is one of the UK Government’s five key strategic priorities. Graduates from this course could be in high-demand for well-paid and interesting jobs that make meaningful contributions to society.

This four-year degree has been designed by leading academics and industry partners. It includes a broad range of taught modules at the University of Sussex and the University of Bristol in Year 1, followed by the research project phase in Years 2-4. You’ll have access to a broad technology base and state-of-the-art facilities at Sussex and Bristol.

As a postgraduate researcher, you’ll learn from world-leading academics, industrial collaborators and your peers. You’ll:

  • gain experience of practical application as well as a sound theoretical understanding of quantum physics

  • develop complementary skills – such as commercialisation and science communication – necessary for academic and industrial excellence

  • have the option of going on industry trips to visit companies and research laboratories working in the quantum field

  • have financial support for academic and industrial secondments, as well as international and national conferences.

We understand that deciding where and what to study is a very important decision. We’ll make all reasonable efforts to provide you with the courses, services and facilities described in this prospectus. However, if we need to make material changes, for example due to government or regulatory requirements, or unanticipated staff changes, we’ll let you know as soon as possible.
