DPhil Research Opportunity on Ultra-High-Q Microresonators for Optical Frequency Comb Generation
Ultra-High-Q microresonators are extremely powerful devices that allow confining enormous amounts of light into tiny micron-scale mode volumes. This enables the observation of nonlinear optical effects at low threshold powers, making microresonators ideal components for future integrated photonic circuits and for the next generation of optical computing.
A key application that utilizes nonlinear optics in microresonators is the generation of optical frequency combs. Optical frequency combs have been first developed 15 years ago and have become ubiquitous tools for spectroscopy, precision metrology and optical clocks. In 2005 optical frequency combs have been awarded with the Nobel Prize in Physics. Microresonators have recently shown to be promising candidates for shrinking optical frequency comb generators into chip-based devices for out-of-the-lab use [1]. However, the underlying physics of optical comb generation in microresonators is far from being fully understood and fundamentally different from conventional mode-locked laser comb generators [2].
There is opportunity for an Oxford D.Phil student to join a recently established research team at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) to work on microresonator-based frequency comb generation. At present there are several research projects available both on the applied side of frequency comb generation in microresonators as well as on the fundamental research side with the goal of understanding the physics of the underlying comb generation process.
NPL provides an ideal environment for research on optical frequency combs with an existing infrastructure of optical atomic clocks and conventional frequency combs that can be used for future experiments.

Experiments on a network of cold-atom quantum systems
The quantum systems that we use are Bose-Einstein condensates in which two states of the atoms are linked by a transition that is weakly driven with microwave radiation to form a superfluid Josephson juntion (analogous to superconducting JJs). We shall interconnect these systems by measuring the population differences across each JJ, non-destructively, implementing feedback control by fast independent adjustments of each JJ. This 'semi-classical' network of quantum systems includes quantum fluctuations and so it can simulate the full quantum dynamics for a certain subset of Hamiltonians, including the Ising model; finding the minimum of the energy function is important since many computationally demanding mathematical optimisation problems may be formulated as ground-state search algorithms of an Ising model. Our network of quantum systems is distinct from quantum networks, i.e., a quantum network of quantum systems where the interconnections are quantum, as well as the nodes. With this system we plan to:i) investigate annealing protocols (that determine ground states) using precise quantum optical measurements and with extreme isolation from environmental noise, ii) produce spin squeezing in samples of ultracold atoms by continuous measurements and show how such quantum properties can enhance nonlinear high-precision interferometry, and iii) study systems analogous to topological models (with Prof. Ruostekoski, Southampton, Maths Dept.), leading to experimentally testable predictions.

High Energy Density Laboratory Astrophysics - Scaling the Cosmos to the Laboratory
We are looking for DPhil experimental/theoretical positions to study and simulate in the laboratory extreme astrophysical conditions. The research is focussed on the following themes:
1. Investigation of the equation of state of ultra dense matter as the one occurring in the core of giant planets (such as Jupiter and many exoplanets). The experimental work involves using high power laser facilities to compress the matter to densities above solid and then applying x-ray techniques to probe its microscopic state. Interested students can also focus their work onto theoretical topics involving strongly coupled and partially degenerate plasmas - which are particularly relevant for describing white dwarf structure.
2. The understanding of the generation and amplification of magnetic fields in the Universe. We are particularly interested at the role of turbulence (and dynamo) in producing the present day values of magnetic fields in cluster of galaxies. Experiments on large laser facilities are planned in order to simulate in the laboratory intra-cluster turbulence and measure the resultant magnetic field generation and amplification by dynamo.
3. Quantum gravity with high power lasers. The idea is to use high intensity lasers to drive electrons to very high accelerations and then observe effects connected to the Unhruh-Hawking radiation. The ideal candidate is expected to work in defining the required experimental parameters and the proposal for a future experiment.
Our group has access to several laser facilities (including the National Ignition Facility, the largest laser system in the world). Students will also have access to a laser laboratory on campus (currently hosting the largest laser system in the department), where initial experiments can be fielded. Further details can be found by browsing our research web-page http://www.physics.ox.ac.uk/users/gregorig/
Prospective candidates are encouraged to contact Prof Gregori for further information.

1. Plasma accelerators
In a laser wakefield accelerator an intense laser pulse propagating through a plasma excites a trailing plasma wave via the action of the ponderomotive force, which acts to expel electrons from the region of the laser pulse. The longitudinal electric field in this plasma wakefield can be as high as 100 GV / m, more than three orders of magnitude larger than that found in conventional RF accelerators such as those used at CERN. Particles injected into the correct phase of the plasma wave can therefore be accelerated to energies of order 1 GeV in only a few tens of millimetres.
Theoretical and experimental work on plasma accelerators in Oxford is undertaken by a collaboration of research groups in the sub-departments of Particle Physics and Atomic & Laser Physics.
Please note that applications to work in this area should be made to the sub-department of Particle Physics, as explained at http://www2.physics.ox.ac.uk/research/laser-plasma-accelerators/recruitment this page also gives further information on DPhil projects which are available in this area.
2. Ultrafast lensless imaging with OPA-driven high-harmonic generation
The project involves the generation of high-order harmonics of ultrafast visible laser pulses, and the application of this radiation to coherent diffraction imaging (CDI). High-harmonic generation (HHG) is a fascinating process in which an intense, femtosecond-duration laser pulse strongly drives the valance electrons of an atom to induce a highly nonlinear polarization; these oscillating dipoles radiate the odd harmonics of the driving field to generate a coherent beam of harmonics extending from the visible into the soft X-ray region.
CDI is a new method for "lensless imaging," which is invaluable in spectral regions (such as the X-ray region) in which conventional optics are not available. In essence, CDI works by recording the diffraction pattern of an object, and inverting this using fast phase-retrieval algorithms to deduce the original object.
We are interested in: (i) developing more efficient HHG sources, with improved properties, by using optical parametric amplifiers (OPAs) to optimize the wavelength of the driving laser; (ii) using the HHG beams for element-specific X-ray imaging of microscopic objects.
This work is supported by a 4-year research programme funded by EPSRC.

Quantum photonics
Experimental quantum optics plays a key role in our growing understanding of the essential features of quantum physics, from foundational principles to consequences in information processing. To date, however, most experiments have been restricted to simple quantum systems composed of just one or two photons. A major aim for the field is developing methods to realise increasingly complex states from which remarkable properties are predicted to emerge. The Quantum Photonics team in the Ultrafast Quantum Optics Group works at the forefront of this challenge, using novel optical devices that enable the study of new large-scale quantum systems. We are developing photonic chips using the latest fabrication technologies that enable integrated quantum light sources and programmable multiport interferometers, optical fibre networks for time-domain manipulation of quantum light, and superconducting thin films that efficiently count single photons. We use these tools to study applications in quantum computation and metrology, as well as fundamental issues including the quantum-classical boundary and macroscopic quantum systems.
Potential research projects include:
* The quantum-classical transition in large optical networks: Optical fields provide a promising route to create quantum correlations across a network consisting of many nodes that span large distances. The preservation, manipulation, and measurement of multipartite quantum features, including entanglement, in these systems is an important challenge. We plan to develop practical theoretical tools and experimental methods to study the operation of large-scale quantum networks and how they differ from their classical counterparts.
* Quantum-enhanced biological sensing and imaging: Precisely designed quantum optical fields have potential to probe light-sensitive biological samples with unmatched precision. We will study the design of novel quantum-powered microscopes based on stimulated emission and phase-contrast imaging. The end goal is a laboratory demonstration of performance that exceeds the capability of a device using only classical optics.
* Direct quantum simulation and analogue computation: photonic coprocessors have potential to add purpose-built hardware to quantum computers. The fundamental properties of light enable unique construction of processors based on the quantum interference of non-interacting bosonic fields. We will study analogue computation based on the principles of boson sampling, and investigate the design of few-mode photonic simulators that can be used to study the physics of complex molecular and condensed matter systems.
We invite applications from outstanding, motivated students interested in joining our Quantum Photonics team to undertake a DPhil research project. You will gain expertise in experimental quantum optics, including knowledge of optics, lasers, integrated photonics, and quantum information. Your work will be carried out as part of a large team of experimental and theoretical quantum physicists, both in Oxford and collaborating institutions worldwide.

Micro cavities for efficient atom-photon coupling by quantum-electrodynamic effects
(42 month DPhil project supervised by A. Kuhn, Oxford,
including secondments to our partners at Oxford Materials and at the University of Sussex)
High-finesse optical cavities, which use strongly curved mirrors to confine light to a small volume, have made it possible to efficiently extract a single photon from a single atom, ion, or other quantum emitter. Current state-of-the-art cavities with radii of curvature of 5cm ROC have reached the beginning of the strong-coupling regime, where the interaction in the cavity is comparable to rate of uncontrolled spontaneous emission. Such cavities achieve ~50% photon extraction efficiency and allow for controlling the polarisation and temporal profile of the photon.
The aim of this project is to explore, design and construct new microscopic cavities with a 1mm ROC. The tighter confinement would lead to an unprecedented 10x improvement in coupling strength, which would allow the exploration of Quantum Electro-dynamical phenomena deep within the strong-coupling regime, as well as allowing more efficient photon extraction. Beside the characterisation, testing and assembly of novel cavities, the project is equally aiming at the in-situ demonstration of their capabilities in connection with single atoms trapped in the mode volume of the cavity field.
Person specification
The project pushes the field of cavity quantum electrodynamics into the ultra-strong coupling regime, and would suit a student with some experience of atomic/laser physics and a keen interest in quantum phenomena. In addition, the project demands a highly motivated student with excellent communication skills who is able to co-ordinate the production of cavities between several research groups. There would be opportunities to travel to Sussex to use the mirror machining apparatus and to mirror-coating companies in the US and in Germany.
Work environment
The research team of Dr Kuhn (http://www2.physics.ox.ac.uk/research/the-atom-photon-connection) does encompass two PostDocs and four graduate students which operate 2-4 laboratories dedicated to cavity-qed and atom-photon coupling in cavities at Physics department of the University of Oxford. The work space is well equipped, comprising 3-4 vacuum chambers for studying atom-photon coupling in cavities, several ECDL and fibre lasers for atom manipulation, a frequency comb for synchronously stabilising all laser and cavity frequencies, a large battery of single-photon counters and a cavity-characterisation setup and an AFM for the close inspection of mirror surfaces. Furthermore access to the CO2-laser machining facility in Sussex and the Ion-Beam-Milling apparatus at Oxford materials will be integral part of this project.
Implementation Methods
To achieve a highly-curved mirror surface, we propose using focussed ion beam milling and laser machining in collaboration with our partners, Jason Smith (Oxford Materials) and Matthias Keller (University of Sussex). Furthermore, the specification and production of high-finesse mirror coatings would require a close collaboration with mirror-coating companies in the US and in Germany. All necessary apparatus exists within the Oxford-lead Quantum Technology Hub NQIT (http://nqit.ox.ac.uk), including ion-beam milling (Oxford Materials), CO2 laser machining system (Sussex), wavefront sensor and AFM for characterising the mirror surfaces (Oxford Physics), and all necessary lasers for driving the photon production process (Oxford Physics).

Quantum Computing with Trapped Ions, Lasers and Microwaves
Quantum computers offer the prospect of dramatic increases in information processing power, but this potential will only be realized if the qubits which hold the quantum information can be manipulated sufficiently precisely, and if the system can be scaled up to larger numbers of qubits. At Oxford, we have this year reported the best qubit in the world, consisting of a single ion held in a microfabricated "chip trap". The qubit has a coherence time of nearly one minute, its quantum state can be prepared and read out with a fidelity of over 99.9%, and we can perform single-qubit quantum logic gates with an average fidelity measured to be 99.9999%. The key to achieving these results, which now define the state of the art, was the use of microwave techniques: the ion trap itself is a novel design, being the first to incorporate on-board microwave circuitry, and is built using a technology which is in principle scalable to much larger numbers of qubits. In related experiments we have recently demonstrated the highest-fidelity (99.9%) two-qubit quantum logic gate in the world, implemented using laser manipulation of the same type of qubit (hyperfine ground states in calcium-43 ions). Together, these results represent the first demonstration, in any physical system, of all fundamental qubit operations with sufficient fidelity for fault-tolerant quantum computing. We plan to scale our systems up to larger numbers of qubits by interfacing trapped-ion qubits using photonic qubits. We are looking for one or two highly motivated first-class students to join these world-leading projects.

Professor Dieter Jaksch
1) Simulation of two-dimensional strongly-correlated quantum systems using high-performance tensor network theory algorithms
Tensor network theory (TNT) provides efficient and highly accurate methods for simulating many-body quantum systems, which cannot be represented exactly for all but the smallest systems due to the exponential growth of the number of parameters required with system size. The many-body wave function, and the operators that act on them, are represented as a network of tensors (multi-dimensional arrays of numbers) which is manipulated by performing a series of tensor manipulations such as reshaping, contracting and factorising. This computational/numerical DPhil project focusses on developing new algorithms for treating two-dimensional systems that utilise TNT, and will be added to the existing TNT software library. This high-performance library has been developed in our group for the last two years, and already has many users. The project will provide algorithms that are the first of their kind freely available as part of a software library, and will be used not only by members of our group, but research groups throughout the UK. The code is being developed in C, with OpenMP and MPI also being used to implement a hierarchical parallelisation scheme. The DPhil student will collaborate with members of our group to design routines that can be used by them to solve physics problems. The student will also have the chance to work with scientific software engineering experts who provide us with advice on producing high-quality sustainable software and on optimising our codes for running on large–scale supercomputers, such as the national supercomputing cluster ARCHER.
2) Optically steering, manipulating and cooling strongly correlated electron systems
In the past decade there have been pioneering experiments which have shown how laser light can manipulate, measure and selectively cool not only atoms or ions, but also single modes in macroscopic opto-mechanical devices. A major long-term aim in our group, in collaboration with Prof. Andrea Cavalleri Oxford/Hamburg experimental group, is to apply these techniques to strongly correlated electron systems such as Mott insulators and cuprate superconductors. Broadly this work plans to identify and realize "hidden" phases of materials, that are metastable out-of-equilibrium states which only exist while the system is driven. A key example of this would be to devise techniques to engineer the coupling of a stacked cuprate material to a surrounding cavity so that emissions into the cavity mode result in the cooling of superconducting phase fluctuations. These phase fluctuations are thought to be responsible for the transition to a non-superconducting state, thus even moderate cooling of this specific degree of freedom, as opposed to the entire material, may provide a novel route to stabilizing superconductivity above its critical temperature.
This theory DPhil project will work towards this grand challenge by investigating in detail the interaction between various strongly correlated electron systems and light both in and out of a cavity. Regimes of moderate and strong coupling to desired degrees of freedom, such as superconducting order parameter for stacks of Josephson junctions, will be determined. Various approaches will be pursued, such as using the cavity to perform continuous weak measurements to steer the state of the system, or strongly driving structural modes of the material to dynamically modulate its electronic properties. Combinations of phenomenological, mean-field, and numerical techniques will be applied to characterise the response of the system. Insight from these studies should lay the foundations for gauging the physical parameter space in which techniques for phase cooling are possible, and to what extent.
3) Quantum probes of quantum systems, impurities in cold atomic gases
Researchers in many areas have recently separately considered extracting information about a quantum system by bringing it temporarily and coherently into contact with another smaller quantum system, a probe, which is then measured. This has several advantages over traditional methods for measuring properties of a quantum system: It has the potential to be non-destructive; the potential to exploit entanglement and superposition of a perhaps spatially-extended probe in order to extract information directly about complicated correlation functions; and can involve strong interactions and thus occur on smaller time-scales than, say, linear response, and measure non-equilibrium properties. This theoretical DPhil project focuses primarily on impurity atom probes of cold atomic gases, how they could be realised, what information could be extracted or new regimes probed, and the role such probes could play in current or near-future experiments (our theory group is in contact with the experimental groups of Chris Foot, Oxford, and Stefan Kuhr, Strathclyde). Initial avenues of exploration would include using a highly-trapped impurity atom (localised to a few nm rather than the μm resolution of light) to probe a cold atomic gas on length-scales at which mean-field descriptions break down and the corpuscular nature of the gas appears, or using multiple atomic probes to identify whether number conservation occurs in the Bose-Einstein condensation of an atomic gas. This collaborative project will build upon the numerical and analytical expertise of the group in describing the evolution of impurities in cold atom systems, giving the student a firm background in these methods specifically and the vast and exciting area of cold atom physics in general.

Laser-Plasma Interaction Physics for Inertial Fusion and Extreme Field Science
Intense lasers have extraordinary properties. They can deliver enormous energy densities to target, creating states of matter in the laboratory that are otherwise only found in exotic astrophysical phenomena, such as the interiors of stars and planets, the atmospheres of white dwarfs and neutron stars, and in supernovae. The behaviour of matter under these extreme conditions of density and temperature is a fascinating area of study, not only for understanding of fundamental processes that are, in most cases, highly non-linear and often turbulent, but also for their potential applications for other areas of the natural sciences. My team is working on:
• Inertial confinement fusion - applications include energy generation and the transition to a carbon-free economy and the development of the brightest possible thermal source for neutron scattering science
• New high power optical and X-ray lasers using non-linear optical properties in plasma
• Novel particle accelerators via laser and beam-driven wakefields - including the AWAKE project at CERN, as a potential route for a TeV e-e+ collider
• Unique ultra-bright X-ray sources
The understanding of these physical processes requires a combination of observation, experiment and high performance computing models on the latest supercomputers. My team is versatile, combining experiment, theory and computational modelling, including applications of machine learning. I can offer projects in all of these areas – please contact me to discuss your interests and let's take it from there.

1) D.Phil. in quantum memory and photonic applications
We invite applications from first-class students to join our group in Oxford for a D.Phil project on quantum memory, to start in 2014 (start date negotiable), supervised jointly by Joshua Nunn and Ian Walmsley.
The Ultrafast Group in Oxford has pioneered a GHz bandwidth optical memory in cesium vapour based on Raman scattering, with a world-leading time-bandwidth product exceeding 3000. Memories of this kind are a key component of future quantum technologies. The next steps in our research are to demonstrate single-photon operation, which requires engineering the density of scattering states to suppress noise and boost the memory efficiency. We are also working on an integrated memory in hollow-core optical fibre. In this project, the student will combine these ideas and develop a broadband quantum-capable integrated memory in the first two years of work. This will then be applied to the synchronisation of photon sources, or other photonic primitives, in the final year. The project is focussed on enabling the next generation of quantum photonic processors by synchronisation. The student will gain experimental skills in quantum optics, fibre optic and waveguide design, optical cavities, non-linear optics and atomic physics, as well as theoretical modelling of coherent light-matter interactions and quantum networks. There is also considerable opportunity for collaboration with other teams in the group working on integrated photonic circuits and advanced photodetection, and with other research groups both nationally (Southampton; Imperial) and internationally (Paderborn, Germany; NIST, USA), which are jointly funded.

2) D.Phil. in diamond photonics with NV ensembles
We invite applications from first-class students to join our group in Oxford for a D.Phil project on diamond photonics, to start in 2014 (start date negotiable), supervised jointly by Joshua Nunn and Ian Walmsley.
Quantum information processing using light offers radical new technologies such as super-fast quantum computers and super-secure quantum communication. But a key stumbling block is the ability to engineer strong light-matter interactions. These are required both to mediate photonic logic gates, and to enable the efficient storage and switching of photonic wavepackets to form a scalable architecture. Our group has developed one of the world's leading quantum memories based on Raman scattering in an atomic vapour. We are now investigating ways to integrate this memory inside a solid medium. In this project, the student will design an implementation of the memory based on the Raman interaction in an ensemble of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) defect centres in diamond, and build an experiment to demonstrate this solid state Raman memory. Looking further ahead, the same Raman interaction could be used to generate heralded, near-deterministic non-linearities at the single photon level based on Stokes scattering followed by measurement-induced quantum back-action. These research tasks are open-ended but the demonstration of a broadband light-matter interface in the solid state will be a transformative step forward in quantum photonics that will have a broad impact on the community. The student will have the opportunity to participate in active collaborations with Steven Prawer in Melbourne (fabrication) and Gerard Milburn in Brisbane (theory).

1. D.Phil. in light-matter interactions in diamond colour-centres
Negatively charged nitrogen vacancy centres (NV-) in diamond offer a highly coherent spin-photon interface in the solid state. In one project, the student would implement a Raman-type quantum memory in an ensemble of NV- centres, with a Raman coupling enhanced by a cavity (joint work with Erdan Gu, Strathclyde). Recently, silicon vacancy centres (SiV) have emerged as an appealing system also, with inversion symmetry boosting the Debye-Waller factor from ~4% up to ~80% (that is, the zero-phonon line dominates the optical transition). In another project (joint work with Christoph Becher, Saarlandes) the student will investigate light-matter interactions — slow / fast light and quantum memory — based on ensembles of SiV centres in diamond. Finally, neutral nitrogen vacancy centres (NV0) exhibit a strongly coupled Lambda-type system with strong dipole coupling between the ground states. In another project, the student will investigate electric field sensing and microwave field sensing / imaging with this system. This work is partially supported by the newly established Hub for Networked Quantum Information Technologies ( www.nqit.ox.ac.uk ).

2. D.Phil. in alkali-vapour quantum memory
Quantum memories enable the active synchronisation of non-deterministic quantum operations. They are a key enabling technology for scalable quantum information processing with photons. Our group has developed protocols to enable the storage and on-demand retrieval of broadband photons at room temperature. A number of projects are available in this area, including (1) constructing a compact, efficient cavity-enhanced Raman-type memory in cesium vapour; (2) implementing a ladder-type memory in Rb vapour in a hollow-core fibre, with very high end-to-end efficiency. We are also keen to investigate networks of several such memories, and the possibility to generate, as well as store, quantum correlated fields, in such a network (some overlap with network simulation project here). This work is partially supported by the newly established Hub for Networked Quantum Information Technologies ( www.nqit.ox.ac.uk ).

3. D.Phil in quantum network simulation
The efficiency of energy transport in atomic and molecular complexes determines the end-to-end efficiency of biological, chemical and photo-physical processes, such as photosynthesis and solar harvesting in artificial photo-voltaics. Charge transport at the molecular scale determines the efficiency of molecular switches, transistors and molecular machines, and the critical temperature of superconductors depends on the robustness of ballistic charge transport. The transport in these systems is described by quantum mechanics, and is wave-like in nature. Direct studies are challenging because of the small spatial and temporal scales involved. But optical systems – inherently wave-like – provide a route to understanding quantum transport in a macroscopic system whose topology can be controlled, and whose evolution can be tracked. By constructing an optical platform for modeling transport, we will be able to test design principles for transport structures that could be incorporated into new technologies and elucidate the functionality of naturally occurring bio-molecular complexes. Additionally, when driven into the strongly nonlinear regime optical cavities exhibits cavity solitons, which are pulses that propagate indefinitely without spreading. They are also known and "optical bullets" and are the prime example of complex self-organization in optical systems. They exhibit wide range of rich dynamics such as mutual attraction or repulsion, collisions, fusions, spontaneous creation, synchronization and annihilation. They have direct applications in frequency comb metrology and precision time-keeping and form the basis for new types of optical logic and simulators. We will also explore a wide range of self-organizational phenomena and the existence of multipartite quantum correlations in networks of solitons. Finally, transport on highly connected graphs is the basis for neural networks. Optical networks could therefore be adapted for high bandwidth signal processing and machine learning. In this project, the student will investigate coherent transport and solitonic dynamics in cavity networks. We are keen to investigate the linear, non-linear, and quantum optical regimes, with and without measurement/feedback, with and without externally controlled noise or coupling to environmental modes. This is a project with considerable scope for collaboration on the theory side.

4. D.Phil. in microwave-optical conversion
Quantum information encoded in optical photons can be transmitted over long distances with very high information density, and suffers from negligible thermal noise at room temperature. On the other hand, microwave photons at cryogenic temperatures can be confined in high quality resonators and strongly coupled to solid-state qubits, providing a quantum bus to connect qubits and a route to deterministic pho- tonic non-linearities. The coherent interconver- sion of microwave and optical photons has therefore recently emerged as a highly desirable capa- bility that would enable freely-scalable networks of optically-linked qubits, or large-scale photonic information processing with multi-photon inter- actions mediated by microwaves. In this project, we investigate routes to efficient and coherent microwave-optical conversion. One project is based on frequency mixing in Rydberg atoms (with Amir Feizpour). This project will cross over with the cold Rydberg atom project. Another project is based on optomechanical coupling (with Michael Vanner).

5. D.Phil. in certiified quantum random number generation
True random numbers, which are strictly uncorrelated with any other system in the universe, are a resource for computation, cryptography, and for the elimination of bias in resource allocation (ranging from lotteries and gambling to stock markets and optimisation). There is growing interest in quantum random number generators. These are devices that output a string of numbers whose statistics are determined by quantum mechanical processes, which are supposed to be fundamentally unpredictable. Key desiderata for a QRNG are speed / bit-rate, compactness, low cost, and certifiability. In this project, the student will join a team developing a commercially viable implementation of a QRNG. This work is partially supported by the newly established Hub for Networked Quantum Information Technologies ( www.nqit.ox.ac.uk ).

Cavity opto‐mechanics: from quantum foundations to quantum technologies
Cavity quantum opto‐mechanics is one of the newest and fastest growing areas of quantum science internationally and was recently noted by the Nature Publishing Group as a milestone in physics [1]. Central to opto‐mechanics is radiation pressure (the force exerted by simply the reflection of light), which is used to control the motion of micro‐ or nano‐fabricated mechanical resonators. Using this interaction in combination with the techniques of quantum optics provides a route to experimentally generate quantum states of motion at a truly macroscopic scale. This rich avenue offers significant potential to contribute to both fundamental and applied science, allowing quantum‐enhanced weak force sensing with unprecedented precision, and even offering one of the most promising routes to observe quantum gravitational phenomena with a table‐top experiment [2,3]. Specific DPhil projects can be tailored to the student's interests and can focus in one of two directions: (i) to experimentally develop the tools [4,5] to generate and probe non‐classical states of motion to empirically explore fundamental physics, such as the quantum‐to‐classical boundary, or (ii) to utilise quantum states of motion to develop ultra‐sensitive force sensors that can play a key role in the next generation of quantum technologies.
Successful DPhil applicants will be part of a vibrant international team of researchers working in close collaboration with several research groups in Oxford, London, and overseas, including Australia, Japan, Germany, and the United States. You will gain an expertise in experimental quantum optics, lasers, cryogenics, as well as simulation and theoretical modelling in a number of different areas of physics. You will also have the opportunity to spend some of your DPhil abroad to work with our collaborators. Recent opto‐mechanics graduates have went on to pursue exciting careers in Google, NASA, and IBM, as well as becoming internationally leading academics.

Over the past few years there has been a revolution in X-ray science: the advent of the world's first hard X-ray free electron laser (FEL), the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) in California, in one step in 2009 increased the spectral brightness of X-ray sources over that of any synchrotron by a factor of a billion. Spatially coherent, monochromatic, femtosecond X-ray pulses can now be routinely produced over a wide spectral range, accessing the spatial and temporal scales of atomic processes simultaneously for the first time. When focused to micron-sized spots, the unique characteristics of X-ray and XUV FELs provide a range of new opportunities to generate and study matter in extreme conditions with unprecedented accuracy and control, at temperatures of several millions of degrees Celsius and at atomic densities of order 1023 per cm3 and above. Such conditions are interesting as they are found towards the interior of stars and in other astrophysical objects, but are also directly relevant to inertial confinement fusion research. Focused FEL beams also show great promise to be used as a type of "giant microscope": to look at chemistry and biological processes in real time, and to image in 3D tiny nano-crystals, protein molecules, and viruses. These objects are either too small or their processes too fast to be investigated via current techniques, but could be accessed using coherent X-ray diffraction imaging on FELs. For this novel technique to be truly valuable, however, the full information required must be collected before the ultra-high intensity of the FEL turns the sample into a hot-dense plasma, and obliterates it. The way in which this process takes place is however still relatively poorly understood. For these reasons, our research focuses on understanding the fundamental X-ray-matter interaction process that leads to the creation of hot dense plasmas, and on studying their structure, dynamics and evolution in time.
One or two research projects will be made available to start in October 2015, for students interested in experimental and/or theoretical work on X-ray matter interactions and dense plasmas. On the experimental side, the work will be conducted as part of an international collaboration on key FEL facilities: the LCLS FEL at Stanford in California, the FERMI FEL in Trieste, Italy, and the FLASH FEL in Hamburg, Germany. On the theoretical and computational side, the work will combine a range of techniques such as collisional-radiative simulations and first-principle density functional theory studies of strongly-coupled systems, all at the cutting edge of our current modelling capabilities of these extreme conditions.

Attoscience and Strong Field Physics
Recently, nonlinear frequency conversion has been extended to provide access to coherent extreme ultraviolet (XUV) and soft x-ray radiation. This has enabled experiments routinely performed at synchrotron and free-electron laser facilities to be moved into a compact laboratory environment, and the underlying physics has given birth to attoscience. This emerging field concerns the observation of electron and atomic dynamics at the microscopic level, where the timescale is measured in attoseconds (10-18 s). Such fundamental measurements will have a wide reaching impact throughout the sciences, and potential applications include computation, energy harvesting and healthcare. The Attoscience and Strong Field Physics section of the Ultrafast Group are engaged in all aspects of attoscience research from the production of energetic few-cycle laser pulses, to the generation, all-optical characterization and use of XUV radiation.
Applications are invited from outstanding students interested in joining the Attoscience and Strong Field Physics team to pursue a DPhil research project. You will work with an advanced laser system on a daily basis and gain a deep understanding of ultrafast optics, XUV technology and state-of-the-art imaging techniques. In addition to a strong experimental focus, you will also have the opportunity to develop strong computational skills.
The main research activities are summarised at https://www2.physics.ox.ac.uk/research/ultrafast-quantum-optics-and-opti.... For further information please contact Dr. Patrick Anderson or Professor Ian Walmsley.

Professor Justin Wark
Studying High Pressure Matter with X-Ray Lasers
An opportunity exists for a DPhil project in the Physics Department at the University of Oxford to use the brightest X-ray source on the planet to study the response of matter to pressures normally only found towards the centre of planets. The student will work under the supervision of Professor Justin Wark in the sub-department of Atomic and Laser Physics. The project, funded by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, will entail both an experimental and theoretical study of matter under extreme conditions. On the experimental side, the student will use intense optical lasers to subject matter to many millions of atmospheres for timescales in the sub-nanosecond regime. In conjunction, the most intense x-ray laser on earth - the Linac Coherent Light Source at SLAC, will be used to obtain few-femtosecond single-shot diffraction images as the matter deforms or forms new phases. The experiments will be complemented by both classical molecular dynamics simulations, and by ab initio density functional theory calculations. The work builds on previous successful research recently published at the highest level (Science, 342, 220 [2013]). Full funding exists (fees and stipend) for successful UK or EU candidates for a period of 3.5 years. Interested candidates should have a upper-second or first class degree (or equivalent) in Physics, be interested in both experimental and theoretical physics, and be willing to spend some short periods in the US for experiments and collaborations. Enquiries can be made to Professor Justin Wark.

The group's research program aims to understand the genetic processes underlying adaptation in free-living populations and species, in particular, salmonid fishes. We also use the obtained knowledge as the basis for developing conservation and management guidelines which can be applied in a wide range of endangered and exploited populations and species. Curently we are studying the genetic architecture of life-history traits in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) as well as the molecular basis of rapid thermal adaptation in European grayling (Thymallus thymallus).
The group is based in the Department of Biology at the University of Turku, Finland.

Oregon City Council on Monday approved the purchase of three city vehicles from Mathews Ford.
The city bought from Mathews two 2015 Ford F150 extended cab trucks for the city's Building and Zoning Department for $55,876, and a 2015 Ford F150 extended cab truck for the Department of Public Service for $27,938.
Mathews Ford provided a quote that was $3,826.50 lower than the U.S. General Services Administration purchase program of $31,764.50 for each vehicle purchased for the Building and Zoning Department, according to James Gilmore, commissioner of building and zoning. The vehicles will replace two 2008 Chevy Colorado pick-up trucks that will be offered to other city departments, on the city's auction site or traded in, according to Gilmore. Funds to pay for the vehicles were included in the city's 2015 budget.
"Mathews beat the state bid price," said Mayor Mike Seferian. "It was something we had foreseen in the budget."
Whether or not the plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the Eastwood school board have legal standing in the case is one of the first issues being addressed in the suit filed in April.
Wood County Common Pleas Court Judge Alan Mayberry is expected to rule soon on the matter, Andrew Mayle, attorney for Victor and Eileen Schuerman and Karl Offerman, all of Pemberville, said last week.
The residents are challenging a decision by the school board to proceed with a construction agreement for a new elementary school building on the district's main campus. The board entered into an agreement with the Ohio School Facilities Commission in March to fund construction costs - with Eastwood obligated to provide about $12.5 million and the OSFC to pay about $7 million.
The OSFC is also named as a defendant in the lawsuit, which asks for an injunction to stop the project, contending the agreement circumvents state law.
The purchase of a refinery near New Orleans, Louisiana will diversify PBF Energy's asset base geographically and increase total capacity to more than 725,000 barrels per day, an executive with the company said last week.
PBF is the parent company of refineries in Toledo (formerly Sun Oil), Delaware City, Delaware, and Paulsboro, New Jersey.
The company has announced it reached an agreement to purchase the Chalmette Refining, LLC, including the refinery with a 189,000-barrel per day capacity and other assets from ExxonMobil and PDV Chalmette, LLC.
The purchase price is $322 million plus working capital such as inventory to be valued at closing.
"The acquisition of the Chalmette Refinery, and its associated logistics assets, represents a significant step in the strategic growth of PBF Energy and PBF Logistics," said Tom Nimbley, Chief Executive Officer of PBF Energy. "Upon completion, we will have increased our refining capacity by 35 percent and added meaningful Gulf Coast assets to our businesses. We will have operations in the Gulf Coast, Mid-Continent (Toledo) and East Coast and have diversified and increased our commercial footprint and flexibility.
The Ohio Fire Chiefs' Association will be conducting a risk analysis and fire station study for the Oregon Fire and Rescue Department.
Oregon council at a meeting on June 22 approved a $16,000 contract with the Ohio Fire Chiefs' Association, of Worthington, Ohio, to do the analysis and study. The Association helps fire and EMS agencies in the state find solutions to problems and helps improve local service delivery.
The fire department is requesting the study of the fire and EMS delivery system to provide a detailed analysis of current department performance and determine long-range needs regarding fire station location and resource deployment.
The city is facing an increasing demand for services and anticipating the need to replace an aging facility and apparatus.
The areas of the study will include:
The Northwestern Water and Sewer District has received a grant to study the feasibility of establishing an emergency water connection link to service customers in the event of a consumption ban like that issued by the City of Toledo last August.
The grant for $50,000 was issued through the Local Government Innovation Program of the Ohio Development Services Agency.
During the ban, district personnel discussed how to construct an emergency link from the City of Perrysburg's water system, which receives water from Toledo, to the Bowling Green system.
The district purchases Toledo water for its customers in the northwest portion of Wood County – with most of those customers located west of I-280. Most of the customers to the east receive water from the City of Oregon, which, like Bowling Green, wasn't affected by Toledo's water advisory.

State Police, Blooming Grove, found 30 mature marijuana pants in the woods in Lackawaxen Township, Wednesday, Sept. 8, while looking for a missing person.
The missing man, Richard Gerard Moore, 56, of Lackawaxen, had been reported missing since the week before. Police issued a separate report Wednesday stating that Moore was located at about 11:30 a.m. along Route 6 in Lackawaxen Township. He was unharmed and in good health, Trooper Jeremy Carroll said.
Cpl. David Hahn said that the marijuana plants were discovered growing approximately one mile south of the Lackawaxen Township Fire Station off of Route 590.
The plants were seized and taken to the Blooming Grove barracks and entered into evidence. Cpl. Hahn said that the investigation continues, and there are several suspects in the case.

Hi guys,
First of all, great plugin! very useful and reliable.
The only issue I have is with manually downloading the zip file.
I know you are using a php file, but it's not that reliable method compared to ftp, and many times my browser stops the download in the middle, even if using a download manager (I get complete download, but the actual size is about 25% of the original php file I see on the server).
I would appreciate it a lot if your plugin would have an option to simply create a zip file on site.
And again, thanks a lot! Kelly.

I have done some research but I still cannot fix the problem. I have an unwanted thumbnail on top of my post. I am using twenty twelve theme. This is what my post looks like:
The problem occurs after I changed my content.php to move the thumbnail next to the post titles and excerpts in my home page. This is what my homepage looks like:
In my child theme content.php, I have removed this line
<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
under <header class="entry-header">. It helps to remove the unwanted thumbnail on the home page, but the unwanted thumbnails on the post pages are still there.
Do I need to post my content.php? I do not know how to do that though.
Thanks in advance.

Bought these jeans for a fiver and love them, they are a great fit in the waist and legs, and the grey colour also goes with almost anything I wear. A great buy thanks to The Hut.
Very nice trousers, comfortable fit, and for a fantastic price.
Really good quality and they look cool.
All I can say is everything is 10/10. Quality could be a little better but for £10 its good value for money. I would even pay 3 times as much!
Buying trousers can sometimes be hit and miss, but this time I wasn't let down. These 55 Soul jeans are well made, nice cut and fit well... on to a winner they say.......

The top-seeded twin brothers lost the first five games of the match but fought back strongly to outclass the Croatian/Brazilian duo and extend their Grand Slam record number of titles to 15.
The 35-year-old Bryans, who also won the Olympic gold medal last year, got the measure of their 12th-seeded opponents through the telepathic understanding which has brought them 91 career doubles titles.
They made the decisive break in the ninth game of the fourth set and Bob Bryan served out for victory which he sealed with an ace, prompting a trademark chest-pump by the brothers.

Lennon was in scintillating form against the Royals as Spurs eased to victory without the talismanic presence of Gareth Bale on the opposite flank.
The 25-year-old Lennon has been impressive of late and Parker feels he poses a huge threat to opposition defenders.
When asked if he felt Lennon was playing better than ever, Parker said: "I think that's a fair comment. Over the last four or five weeks he has been unplayable really.
"He was at a different level (against Reading), not just his raw pace and his threat on and around the ball but his work rate was something very special.
"I couldn't think of anything worse if I was a full-back as him running at me. I'm sure every full-back out there has the same feeling really, he deserves a special mention - he has been brilliant."
One criticism of Lennon earlier in his career was the quality of his delivery into the box, but Parker reckons you can now see the results of plenty of time on the training ground for the former Leeds man.
"You can see that (he has been working on crosses)," he said.
"The amount of times he gets to that byline and he set up the goal (against Reading). He probably could have set up another couple if it had fallen for the right people. He has certainly added that to his game which is pleasing."

text: I know that perfectly well. My point is that it was fan reaction that made Spock the breakout character. Once the network saw how hugely popular Spock was with the fans, then of course they dropped their resistance. Just because Roddenberry insisted on keeping the character, that doesn't mean that he was always meant to be the central character. It just means that Roddenberry didn't want to give up on having an alien character in his show set in outer space. He wanted that alien to be an important part of the show, but not the core of the show. Said memo was issued after the pitch document I mentioned before, which is dated March 11, 1964 and already includes the entire cast I listed above. Therefore, it does not reveal anything whatsoever about the order in which the characters were created. I think everyone knows that Number One was written for Majel, but that tells us nothing about when the character was created relative to the others, or when Spock was created. That's a better way of putting it. As I said, that's certainly what the network and the fans wanted. But there was always an effort made (by the producers and definitely by Shatner) to ensure that Kirk remained on a par with Spock. I'd say Spock became more "the de facto star" than "the main character" per se.

on August 29, 2014 - 8:37 PM
LONDON – Alarmed by the suspected presence of hundreds of British jihadis among Sunni militants in Syria and Iraq, Britain increased its assessment of the terrorism threat on its own soil Friday and said new laws would be introduced to counter what Prime Minister David Cameron called "a greater threat to our security than we have seen before."
The tone of the warnings recalled the days after July 7, 2005, when four suicide bombers killed 52 travelers on the London transit system.
The show of concern, moreover, seemed intended to bolster the government's case for contentious new legislation to control terrorism suspects.
The terrorism threat level – an official designation assessing the likelihood of an attack – had long been considered to be "substantial," meaning that an attack was "highly likely." The new level – "severe" – meant that "a terrorist attack is highly likely, although there is no intelligence to suggest that one is imminent," Theresa May, the home secretary, said in a statement.
The new designation is the second highest after "critical," meaning that an attack is expected imminently.
"The increase in the threat level is related to developments in Syria and Iraq where terrorist groups are planning attacks against the West," May said, without offering direct evidence of those plans.
"Some of these plots are likely to involve foreign fighters who have traveled there from the U.K. and Europe to take part in those conflicts," she said.
"The British public should be in no doubt that we will take the strongest possible action to protect our national security."
She added: "We face a real and serious threat in the U.K. from international terrorism. I would urge the public to remain vigilant and to report any suspicious activity to the police."
In what seemed a related development, Cameron told a news conference that new laws would facilitate the seizure of the passports of suspected British jihadis.
He said he would provide more detail in a statement to parliament Monday.
He drew a distinction between previous assessments that the main threat to British security came from al-Qaida, which has broken with the Islamic State because of its extreme tactics.
Security considerations at home are only a part of the challenge presented by the Islamic State advance. Britain has offered to arm Kurdish forces in northern Iraq and has flown surveillance missions in support of humanitarian airdrops. But President Obama has confirmed that he had asked Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel for options for military strikes in Syria, and there has been much speculation here that Britain may be asked for support, even though Parliament refused to authorize such action a year ago.
Cameron said British intelligence and security officials believed the number of Britons joining jihadist groups in Syria and, potentially, Iraq exceeded 500. By contrast, U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies have identified nearly a dozen Americans who have traveled to Syria to fight for the Islamic State.
