If you are interessted in a PhD or PostDoc position, please directly contact Prof. Herwig Ott. A first glance at our research profile can be found here.

You are a student and you want to experience the atmosphere in a quantum optics lab? We have several small projects running, which allow you to get in touch with our research tools and which help us to advance our research. These projects typically involve the topics of laser physics, optics, electronics or software developement. Independent of your experience, you're welcome to join!

Here are a few examples how HiWi projects may look like:

•  Designing and building electronic circuits to control magnetic coils
•  Production of housings using our 3D printer
•  Building laser shutter
•  Development of our group's software package

Our bachelor theses give you the opportunity to gain your first insights into the research world of quantum physics. Be it through technical developments and characterization measurements or through smaller series of measurements on the “living” quantum system: we guarantee fun and exciting physics and technology.

For examples from the past, you may have a look at the thesis from previous students in our group.

We offer master's and diploma theses in the field of experimental quantum physics. The research topics range from ultracold quantum gases, Rydberg atoms and Rydberg molecules to ion reaction microscopy and quantum computers. Our aim is to offer you a deep insight into current research on quantum physics. You can find out more about our research activities on the Research page.
