Apply for this job

The aim of the BMFTR research project “Q-Cyber” is to explore new approaches to networked multi-party quantum communication applications and to evaluate their practical feasibility and security. We will implement and investigate a range of advanced multipartite quantum communication protocols. We will develop suitable hardware solutions for the use of multipartite entangled quantum states as a fundamental resource in future quantum networks. We will test quantum-networked communication under application-oriented conditions in a real fibre-optic network within an academically and industrially oriented ecosystem.

 

Join our cutting-edge research team realise quantum networks and to bring multipartite quantum communication protocols to real life:

  • Work on the technical realisation of real-life multipartite quantum networks with multiple node and photonic quantum hardware
  • Implement advanced quantum-network protocols including quantum conference key agreement, networked quantum computing.

 

You have:

  • Interest in collaborative and interdisciplinary research
  • MSc in Physics, or related
  • Experience in experimental quantum optics and (photonic) quantum technologies
  • Programming skills (Python, Mathematica, Matlab, …)

The positions are fixed term and available until filled. The positions are funded via the Federal Ministry for Research, Technology and Space, Project Q-Cyber(75% TVL E13).
