Hi guys,

Couple of questions in regard to a PhD proposal:

1) So I have a topic that I believe merits research - the tutors at my current University are eager for me to make a formal application. However, I need some advice from somebody who is regarded as an expert in the field as to whether it really is a viable research topic. How do I find out who to approach? My idea is in relation to Quantum Computing.

2) It seems to me a significant amount of research is required as part of the proposal - but I would argue that this research should conducted when actually doing the PhD. I am not sure how to approach the write up of the proposal.

Any advice gratefully appreciated

Thanks in advance
