ABOUT US
The Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Quantum Computation and Quantum Communications (QC2), funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), was launched in 2014, renewed in 2019 and in 2024 with a new focus and shape. Its mission is to train the next generation of research leaders in the rapidly advancing field of quantum technologies.
The CDT recruits approximately a dozen postgraduate students each year and provides a unique cohort-based experience through a comprehensive 4-year PhD programme. The training combines academic excellence with practical, cross-disciplinary knowledge, preparing students to unlock the full potential of quantum computation and quantum communications.
Starting in 2024, the renewed CDT focuses on developing emerging research leaders in quantum computation and quantum communications. The programme delivers rigorous, collaborative training designed by a diverse team of UCL academics in partnership with an extensive network of industrial and academic collaborators.
