PhD Scholarship in Relativistic Quantum Information Theory

This highly challenging PhD scholarship offers the opportunity to perform advanced theoretical work in relativistic quantum information (RQI), combining quantum information theory with key aspects of quantum field theory and general relativity. The project aims to investigate the effects of a fundamental minimum length on the nature of gravity and on how accurately we can make measurements. Using a novel approach inspired by information theory, the research will generate new knowledge by combining best theories of fundamental physics to model what happens at ultra-short distances. The expected outcomes include new connections between fundamental limitations on measurements, the nature of gravitation, and ultra-small-scale quantum physics. This work aims to address the fundamental question of how to unite quantum theory and gravitation.
