Apart from general physical and chemical sensors, quantum sensors reply on quantum particles to conduct measurement and are able to have many orders of magnitude more sensitivity than traditional sensors. Many quantum sensors are based on special materials, such as nitrogen vacancy centres in diamond (Diamond NV), which is a photoluminescent point defect in diamond. The Diamond NV have been extensively utilised to achieve quantum computing and processing in information technology, biosensing, microwave and magnetic field detecting, and various other applications in diverse fields, due to their superior performances in long-lived coherence time, single-photon generation, and many other properties. In this PhD project, built upon research group’s previous research on this topic, the student will be undertaking ground-breaking research in Diamond NV quantum sensors, from fundamental simulations of material properties using density functional theory to characterisation and integration of the material into functional sensing devices.RequirementsResearch Field Engineering » Electronic engineering Education Level Bachelor Degree or equivalentSkills/QualificationsCandidates must hold an undergraduate degree at 2.1 level (or Non-UK equivalent as defined by Swansea University) in Physics or Electronic Science, or equivalent degree in similar relevant science discipline.
