As Austria's largest research and technology organization for applied research, we have set ourselves the goal of making substantial contributions to solving the major challenges of our time: climate change and digitalization. In doing so, we rely on our specific research, development and technology expertise, which forms the basis for our commitment to excellence in all areas.
Our Research Field Enabling Digital Technologies, within the Competence Unit "Security and Communication Technologies", specializes in applied research of new methods to exploit the physical properties of optical and wireless communication media and use quantum effects to increase digital security.
Tasks:
As part of our interdisciplinary, international team, you develop new areas of application for photonic quantum technologies.
You work on experimental prototypes for Quantum Technologies and quantum cryptography (e.g. generation of single and entangled qubits, integrated/bulk optics, photonic quantum information processing, etc.).
You implement quantum communication protocols in the laboratory and in deployed networks. You collaborate with the team to plan, submit and lead research projects in quantum communication as well as implement them according to the highest scientific standards.
You publish your findings in international journals and present them at international conferences.
You actively support and supervise students.
With your innovative work, you help to master the latest challenges in quantum communication.
