The Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information – Vienna (IQOQI-Vienna) of the Austrian Academy of
Sciences (OeAW), Austria's leading non-university research and science institution, are committed to advancing
knowledge and enhancing human understanding of nature and its laws. We also actively pursue the vision of
quantum information science and the wide range of new possibilities it would open up for humanity. To this end,
we conduct theoretical and experimental research on the foundations of quantum physics and the physics of
quantum information and develop new quantum technologies. The institute is offering a
PHD STUDENT POSITION (F/M/X)
(part time, 30h per week)
in the Quantum Foundations and Quantum Information Theory research group led by Dr. Miguel Navascués.
For the last few years, the Navascués group has been investigating the feasibility of science fiction constructs, old
and new, either by showing that they violate basic physical principles or by proposing actual experimental
implementations.
For an overview of the research activities of the group, see Navascues Group
