Job description
The openings are within the research group of Dr. Hendrik Weimer and are funded by the Volkswagen Foundation within the project "Quantum States on Demand". The successful candidates are expected to work on projects focussed on quantum many-body physics, dissipative quantum systems, quantum information, quantum optics, Rydberg atoms, ultracold polar molecules, and nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond. The projects include possibilities for collaboration with leading experimental groups. PhD candidates can participate in the DFG Research Training Group "Fundamentals and applications of ultra- cold matter".
