2 PhD positions & 1 Postdoc position in Quantum Networks Application deadline: Sunday, February 15, 2026Employer web page: http://www.barzgroup.deJob type: PhDPostDocThe aim of the BMFTR research project “Q-Cyber” is to explore new approaches to networked multi-party quantum communication applications and to evaluate their practical feasibility and security. We will implement and investigate a range of advanced multipartite quantum communication protocols. We will develop suitable hardware solutions for the use of multipartite entangled quantum states as a fundamental resource in future quantum networks. We will test quantum-networked communication under application-oriented conditions in a real fibre-optic network within an academically and industrially oriented ecosystem. Join our cutting-edge research team realise quantum networks and to bring multipartite quantum communication protocols to real life: - Work on the technical realisation of real-life multipartite quantum networks with multiple node and photonic quantum hardware - Implement advanced quantum-network protocols including quantum conference key agreement, networked quantum computing. You have: - Interest in collaborative and interdisciplinary research - MSc in Physics, or related - Experience in experimental quantum optics and (photonic) quantum technologies - Programming skills (Python, Mathematica, Matlab, …) Be part of the future of quantum innovation—apply now! Send your application by Feb 15th 2026 with: - Short statement of research interests (max. 1 page) & prior experience - CV - Certificates or transcript of records - Contact details of three referees The positions are fixed term and available until filled. The positions are funded via the Federal Ministry for Research, Technology and Space, Project Q-Cyber(75% TVL E13).
