PhD/MPhil Photon Physics at University of Manchester

Harnessing quantum technology to reveal what other tools cannot. Research in Quantum Technology for Physics develops new experimental techniques and approaches that exploit quantum mechanics to better our understanding of the physical world. As a postgraduate researcher in this Department of Physics and Astronomy research theme, you could use state-of-the-art laser facilities at the Photon Science Institute and work with industrial partners, depending on your project. Apply for one of our advertised research projects, or bring your own research question to a supervisor to develop a proposal.
