  • 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
