PhD

And join one of the most vibrant places for quantum science in Europe.

The Vienna Doctoral Program on Complex Quantum Systems (CoQuS) has been a training center for more than a hundred students the past 10 years. Our 15 different research groups are working on the forefront of the developments in modern quantum science and technology at six different locations in and around Vienna. Your training and research ranges from the most fundamental aspects of quantum science to advanced applications of quantum technologies – in both theory and experiment.

The PhD project is in the domain of many-body physics with highly excited Rydberg atoms. The position is funded via the DFG priority programme GiRyd (http://giryd.de/en/) through the grant "Non-equilibrium phenomena in Rydberg lattice gases with facilitation constraints". Areas of interest will be the study of the emergence of correlated dynamical states, the characterisation of phase transitions and collective phenomena, and the competition between classical and quantum effects, together with issues of thermalisation and non-ergodicity.

A PhD position is available immediately to work at the Quantum Technology Group at Queen’s University belfast on non-equilibrium quantum thermodynamics enhanced by machine learning. The position will be funded by the Royal Society Wolfson Research Fellowship recently awarded to Prof Mauro Paternostro.

Applications through the portal available from

will be accepted until 13 December 2020.
