About this position

Work Activities This PhD project will investigate how phase transitions can be harnessed for information processing with light. Near a continuous phase transition, the susceptibility of a material can increase strongly. This allows weak input signals to generate large responses, which can in turn reduce the optical energy required for an operation. However, critical slowing down and enhanced fluctuations may limit processing speed and accuracy. The main objective of this PhD project is to quantify this trade-off between energy consumption, speed and accuracy in information processing near a ph
