5 PhD Positions: Experimental Quantum Physics 1352 views

The Faculty of Science, Institute of Physics at the University of Amsterdam is inviting applications for five PhD positions. The positions are available in the strontium quantum gases group, headed by Prof. Florian Schreck and are part of the Quantum Gases and Quantum Information (QG&QI) cluster. The main focus of the group is the exploitation of Sr quantum gases for novel precision measurement techniques and the study of many-body physics.

PhD projects:

Project 1: Continuous atom laser

Project 2: Quantum simulation with Rydberg coupled Sr atoms

Project 3: Superradiant Sr clock

Project 4: RbSr ground-state molecules
