Loughborough University
About the Project
We are offering an exciting PhD opportunity to explore the complex dynamics of coupled qubit systems, focusing on how drive and dissipation influence their behavior. You will investigate qualitatively different operational regimes and identify universal parameters that control transitions between these regimes. This project is directly relevant to the development of cutting-edge quantum sensors and analogue quantum information processing devices, including neuromorphic systems.
