Do you have an interest in the foundations of quantum theory? Are you fascinated by thought experiments and do you appreciate the mathematical elegance of a physical theory? Are you interested in developing new quantum information tasks and protocols? If yes, then we invite you to join the Operational Quantum Information Team.

Your personal sphere of influence:

As a university assistant (praedoc) in this 4-year position, you will be part of the Operational Quantum Information Team around Professor Borivoje Daki, and you will be focusing on research topics in quantum foundations and quantum information theory.

Our research focuses on the foundations of quantum mechanics, quantum information theory, and practical applications of quantum information. Examples include operational reconstruction of quantum theory and quantum particle statistics, exploring quantum phenomena at macroscopic scales, and advancing quantum verification theory.

Our Team is part of the Quantum Optics, Quantum Nanophysics and Quantum Information group of the Faculty of Physics.We are member of the Vienna Center for Quantum Science and Technology (VCQ), one of the largest quantum hubs in Europe, and of the Austrian Cluster of Excellence (quantA), advancing basic research in quantum sciences, aiming to expand the frontiers of knowledge and thus being the engine for future innovations.

You will also benefit from being fellow of the Vienna Doctoral School in Physics (VDSP), being part of a thriving community with more than 100 quantum scientists on premise, about 300 quantum researchers in Vienna.

The Daki group is an international team of eight young scientists (Master & PhD). Our expertise lies in quantum foundations and quantum information theory.

Your future tasks:

You will actively participate in research, teaching & administration. This means:

This is part of your personality:

What we offer:

Inspiring working atmosphere:You are a part of an international academic team in a healthy and fair working environment.
