About the project
We are pushing the boundaries of quantum technology by exploring both the theoretical and practical potentials of space-time-modulated superconducting surfaces and their applications in quantum processors and computers. This pioneering approach holds the promise to transform next-generation superconducting quantum technologies, while actively engaging industrial partners for impactful real-world applications.
You will conduct research within our ground-breaking multidisciplinary project on quantum technologies and the electromagnetics of time-varying metamaterials, under the leadership of Dr Sajjad Taravati.
Dr Taravati brings extensive experience in electromagnetics for superconducting quantum computing from his work with the Superconducting Quantum Computing group at the University of Oxford, as well as expertise in metasurface-based wave processors through his collaboration with the Metawaves group at the University of Toronto.
Additionally, he successfully established a spinout company in Canada focused on active metasurfaces for advanced wave processing in telecommunication systems.
In this role, you will conduct theoretical research, computational modelling, and experimental investigations of spatiotemporally periodic superconducting quantum metasurfaces aimed at enhancing qubit efficiency.
This project offers unique advantages, including:
- cutting-edge research with established industrial partnerships
- focus on space-time modulation and quantum science
- real-world applications and collaborative research opportunities
- access to modern facilities and resources
At Southampton, we prioritize collaborative research and strong partnerships with industry leaders. These connections open doors to industry placements, international collaborations, and active engagement in enterprise, enriching your academic experience and enabling you to make impactful contributions to the future of quantum technology.
