Responsibilities

Your Research Journey:

You will lead research projects exploring the fascinating frontiers of quantum science, focusing on quantum information theory and quantum entanglement. You'll investigate nonlocality and quantum networks, working to bridge theoretical frameworks with experimental implementations. While their group's primary focus is theoretical, you'll have the unique opportunity to participate in and guide proof-of-concept demonstrations through their experimental collaborations. You'll also have the opportunity to co-supervise PhD and master's students.
