For our group at the University of Siegen (Germany) we are looking for a motivated postdoc and/or PhD student in the field of quantum information theory, foundations of quantum theory, and quantum optics. The group is led by four PIs (Otfried Gühne, Matthias Kleinmann, Stefan Nimmrichter and Ramona Wolf (starting February 2024)) and the research topics include:

• theory of multiparticle entanglement, quantum networks, and quantum steering,
• security of quantum key distribution and quantum communication,
• foundations of quantum mechanics and generalized probabilistic theories,
• thermodynamics of open quantum systems and quantum thermal machines.

Applicants for a PhD position are expected to have a MSc in physics, experience in theoretical physics and interest in foundational questions of quantum mechanics. Applicants for a postdoc position are expected to have a significant research record in a relevant field. For further information, please see our webpage or contact us directly via email. The deadline for applications is October 15th, 2023, but later applications may also be considered.
