Research Position in Trapped-Ion Quantum Technologies (UpQuantVal Project)
We are seeking a highly motivated researcher to join our team within the framework of the UpQuantVal – Quantum Valley Upper Rhine project, co-funded by the European Union through the INTERREG Upper Rhine programme.
Our group specializes in quantum control and metrology with trapped ions, including the development of advanced laser systems and experimental methods for quantum simulation and sensing. Within UpQuantVal, we contribute to strengthening the regional quantum technology ecosystem by developing robust experimental platforms and collaborating with academic and industrial partners across Germany, France, and Switzerland.
Your profile
-
Background in experimental quantum physics, atomic physics, or a related field
-
