Description

Common protocols used by QRNGs rely on a detailed model of the device and whether that model is sufficient and accurate can affect the device's security.

For device-independent (DI) QRNGs the aim is that the device confirms that it is working sufficiently well during the protocol itself.

This circumvents the need for detailed device models, allowing increased confidence in the output randomness.

However, there is an associated cost in that building devices able to run such a protocol requires shared entanglement which is a fragile resource.


The position will involve studying the best practical ways to perform device-independent protocols, reporting on the optimal ways to generate and share entanglement and violate Bell inequalities with mínimal loopholes, develop and set-up the chosen source (or sources), optimize the non-locality and then set-up and run a DI-QRNG protocol.

This is a full-time position with a fixed term.

The start date is 1st June 2023 or as soon as possible thereafter, and the end date is 30 November 2024 (which could be extended if further funding is obtained).

This is a readvertisement. Previously unsuccessful applicants should not reapply.

The University strives to be diverse and inclusive - a place where we can ALL be ourselves.

We offer family friendly, flexible working arrangements, with forums and inclusive facilities to support our staff. #EqualityatYork
