PhD positions 

We will be looking for PhD students for our work within the Cluster of Excellence Quantum Science Austria. Highly motivated and skilled students are always welcome to apply. Find out more about our fascinating research topics and send your application to us. Very important: please inform yourself about the necessary requirements and procedures for studying at UIBK (read more).

TIP: there are interesting funding opportunities, like a ÖAW DOC Fellowship or other national grants and prizes (www.grants.at), you may apply for during your PhD.

Postdocs

You have almost finished your PhD and are interested in continuing your research career? Moreover, you are interested in working on quantum photonics as a part of an international team? Find out more about our fascinating research topics and forward your application directly to us.

TIP: it will be worth the effort to take a closer look at the various interesting fellowships offered by national and international funding institutions.

MSc theses

Good MSc students are always welcome to embark on one of our exciting Masters Thesis topics  and are encouraged to take courses in our group to prepare them for the thesis research work. 

All master theses in our group are very close to the cutting-edge research in their respective fields and involve various experimental aspects where you are working with the most advanced devices and methods to solve current problems in the area of quantum photonics. Furthermore, you will learn about theoretical aspects of modelling quantum optical phenomena and of semiconductor physics. Altogether you will acquire an excellent basis for an industrial or academic career.

Foreign students beware that MSc students are not normally funded in Austria. Furthermore, please inform yourself about the necessary requirements and procedures for studying at the UIBK (read more).

BSc theses

We offer topics for Bachelor theses . If you are interested on one of our topics, please contact us, ideally at the end of the winter term.

externals: students from outside UIBK

We only consider EU-nationals or applicants with a valid work visa for Austria for any internship positions.

Stabilization of a triggered single photon source

 

Based on the creation of photon pairs through spontaneous parametric fluorescence, we can realize a single photon source through measurement of one of the photons. In the lab course your task will be to expand the existing source in such a way that the relative count of photons in the measurement arm stays constant, as accurately as possible, compared to the one in the trigger arm. In order to achieve that, you should couple the photon pairs into a fiber, separate them with a fiber beam splitter and use the trigger signal to stabilize the source on the one hand, and characterize stability on the other hand.
