CZS Junior Research Groups for Quantum Photonics
The Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung Center for Quantum Photonics Jena – Stuttgart – Ulm (CZS Center QPhoton) offers four outstanding junior researchers the opportunity to establish independent research groups at the Abbe Center for Photonics in Jena, and at the Center for Integrated Quantum Science and Technology (IQST) with the University of Stuttgart, and Ulm University.
3rd Call 2025
The deadline for the 3rd call ends on April 30, 2025. The previous calls were launched in 2023 and 2024.
The announced Junior Research Group will be located at the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena. In a widely open-topic approach at the interface of modern photonics and quantum science, the group can be focused either on experimental or theoretical topics. Depending on its eventual topical alignment, the new Junior Research Group will be associated to the Institute of Applied Physics (www.iap.uni-jena.de) and/or the Abbe Center of Photonics (www.acp.uni-jena.de). A strong collaboration with the local Fraunhofer Institute of Applied Optics and Precision Engineering (www.iof.fraunhofer.de) is also encouraged. The appointee is expected to establish an independent research profile and scientific excellence. Topics to be covered may include, but are not limited to:
- Photonic systems and integration for quantum control and quantum information processing.
- Quantum information processing methods and algorithms for data analysis, quantum-based network architectures, quantum communication and/or quantum computation.
Further information is given in the official call.
