Our Centre for Doctoral Training in Applied Quantum Technologies (CDT-AQT) addresses the national need to train the next generation of quantum scientists and engineers for this emerging industry. The training program is a partnership between the Universities of Strathclyde, Glasgow and Heriot-Watt, and more than 30 UK industry partners. It will offer advanced training for 80 PhD students in broad aspects of Quantum Technology, from technical underpinnings to applications in three key domains: Quantum Measurement and Sensing, Quantum Computing and Simulation, and Quantum Communications. The first cohort of students will start in September 2025.
We are delighted to invite you to attend our formal Launch Event at Strathclyde University on 2nd September 2024. This event will provide our partners with an overview of the research themes and training, a chance to meet the leadership and academic supervisors, as well as find out details on how to collaborate with us in developing joint project proposals and supporting future training events.
As part of our commitment to ensuring our students gain the skills to translate fundamental quantum physics into practical quantum technologies for industry, we additionally invite you to join our Industry Forum to provide input on specific training needs, opportunities to support placements and career development and feedback to the CDT leadership. The Industry Forum will have its first meeting as part of the launch event.
