Call for Application

The Vienna doctoral program on Complex Quantum Systems (CoQuS) offers PhD research and training opportunities in the following fields:
 

  • Fundamental tests of physics
  • Quantum information concepts and implementations
  • Matter wave interferometry: foundations and applications
  • Quantum technology on the nanoscale
  • Quantum physics in the solid state 
  • Cold quantum gases & atom chips
  • Entanglement of massive particles
  • Hybrid quantum systems
  • Strongly correlated quantum systems

The following faculty members will serve as thesis supervisors:

  • Prof. Markus Arndt, University of Vienna
  • Prof. Markus Aspelmeyer, University of Vienna
  • Prof. Caslav Brukner, University of Vienna
  • Prof. NN, Vienna University of Technology (to be filled in soon)
  • Prof. Helmut Rauch, Vienna University of Technology
  • Prof. Jörg Schmiedmayer, Vienna University of Technology
  • Dr. Thorsten Schumm, Vienna University of Technology
  • Prof. Karl Unterrainer, Vienna University of Technology
  • Prof. Frank Verstraete, University of Vienna
  • Prof. Anton Zeilinger, University of Vienna


Associated members:

  • Prof. Reinhold Bertlmann, University of Vienna
  • Prof. Joachim Burgdörfer, Vienna University of Technology
  • Dr. Klemens Hammerer, University of Innsbruck
  • Prof. Peter Zoller, University of Innsbruck


The doctoral program is closely linked to several FWF funded and ERC excellence programs, to the Austrian Academy Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI), to several European networks and many international collaboration projects.

We seek to increase the percentage of women in physics. The CoQuS faculty therefore explicitly encourages qualified female students to apply.
