PhD in Theoretical Quantum Physics

Your role

The Quantum Dynamics of Control (QDC) group led by Prof. Aurelia Chenu at the University of Luxembourg has an opening for a PhD position. The candidate will be integrated into a dynamics research team and have the opportunity to drive a project. See our group and research: chenulab.com. In addition, the Department of Physics and Material Science (DPhyMS) is starting a doctoral training unit in quantum physics (https://quancom.uni.lu). This will offer the candidate a broad background in theoretical quantum physics. In particular, the candidate will have targeted graduate courses and the chance to be embedded within a higher structure. This can foster interaction with other groups at DPhyMS and will create a vibrant environment.
