With over 2,000 employees, the university is one of the largest employers in the region and offers a unique environment for teaching, study, research and knowledge transfer.

**We seek**:
At the Chair of Quantum Optics, we have developed groundbreaking methods to control trapped ions using high-frequency radiation and use them as an elementary switching unit (a qubit) in a quantum computer. We research and develop this system and thus prepare the basis for novel types of scalable quantum computers.

In the Faculty IV: School of Science and Technology, Experimental Quantum Optics, we are looking for a researcher as soon as possible at the following conditions:

- 75% = 29,87 hours
- Pay grade 13 TV-L
- limited until the duration of 3 years

**Your tasks**:

- Your research activities focus on novel methods and techniques for quantum computers with trapped ions. Your tasks include:
- Planning, simulation, and construction of an innovative experimental apparatus
- Preparing and carrying out experiments with trapped ions, data analysis, and publishing scientific results
- Cooperation with national and international research partners and third-party funding agencies

**Your profile**:

- Completed university studies in physics (diploma, Master of Science) with a grade equal to or better than "good" (German grading scheme).
- Sound knowledge of quantum mechanics
- Essential for successful participation in the above-mentioned project are a high level of interest in the task at hand, exceptional commitment and initiative.
- Willingness to work in an interdisciplinary team from the fields of physics, computer science, mathematics, and electrical engineering.
- Very good knowledge of English
- We value experience in one or more of the following areas: Experimental quantum optics with atoms, molecules or solid-state based systems, quantum information processing, laser spectroscopy and -cooling, microwave technology, laser technology, optics, vacuum technology, control electronics, real-time control.

**Our range of services**:

- Promotion of own scientific or artistic qualification according to the Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz [act on temporary employment in higher education] (e.g. PhD)
- Close cooperation with a technology-leading start-up and other partners from science and industry.
- Diverse opportunities to take on responsibility and make a visible contribution in the research and teaching environment
- A modern understanding of leadership and collaboration
- Good work-life balance, for example, through flexible working hours and work location, as well as support with child care
