About this position

The Max Planck School of Photonics (MPSP) is inviting applications to its Germany-wide PhD program for candidates interested in quantum photonics and quantum information. The program connects leading research groups at universities, Max Planck Institutes and Fraunhofer Institutes across Germany.

PhD candidates join the group of an MPSP Fellow and receive co-supervision from another MPSP location. The research environment combines distributed expertise with joint schools, training events and collaboration across participating institutions.

Available research directions include quantum communication, photonic quantum computing and quantum metrology. Daniel Braun’s group in Tübingen offers work in theoretical quantum metrology and quantum imaging, while Otfried Gühne’s group in Siegen focuses on quantum information theory. These projects provide opportunities to develop advanced theoretical approaches to quantum technologies within an interdisciplinary photonics network.
