The aim of the DLR Institute of Quantum Technologies in Ulm is to develop precision instruments for space applications based on quantum technologies. These devices are then turned into prototypes in close cooperation with industry. The institute thus provides a bridge between fundamental research and industry. Together with the DLR-Institute for Satellite Geodesy and Inertial Sensing in Hanover and the Galileo Competence Center in Oberpfaffenhofen, the institute in Ulm plays a pioneering role in applied quantum technologies. It consists of the four core departments Quantum Metrology, Quantum Information and Communication, Quantum Nanophysics, and Quantum Control of Charged Matter Waves, which are complemented by three cross-sectional departments: Quantum Engineering, Integration of Micro- and Nanosystems, and Theoretical Quantum Physics. The institute works in an interdisciplinary way, where fundamental theoretical research and experimental tests meet engineering.

Within the Department of Quantum Nanophysics, we design, realize, and evaluate innovative concepts for earth- and space-based quantum sensors. In this context, we are seeking a researcher to work in the area of experimental Rydberg physics for electromagnetic field sensor. The focus of the position is set on the development of new measurement techniques, prototyping, and the miniaturization of the devices. The candidate researcher will take a key role in the realization of the project and the communication with external partners from industry and academia.

Your responsibilities:

plan new research projects and realize quantum-based sensors to measure magnetic and electric fields for several applications in space and on ground
design novel quantum sensors on a lab scale and evaluate their experimental feasibility using computer simulations
build novel sensors based on Rydberg atoms and miniaturize them in collaboration with internal and external partners as well as industry
take part in measurement campaigns to characterize the sensors in real-world scenarios and answer fundamental and applied scientific questions
analyze the results using commercial and in-house developed programs and prepare the data for publication

completed scientific university degree (Master’s/Diploma Uni) in natural sciences (e.g. physics) or engineering (e.g. in the fields of quantum technologies, quantum physics or quantum engineering) or other degree programmes relevant to the position Security clearance as well as the willingness to security clearance pursuant to §§ 8 ff. Security Clearance Act (SÜG) is a condition for employment at DLR. knowledge in experimental atomic physics is highly recommended experience in magnetometry is an advantage knowledge in programming (e.g. Python or C), simulation software (e.g. Comsol), and mathematical software (e.g. Matlab or Mathematica) would be desired knowledge in the area of experimental Rydberg physics, spectroscopy or the realisation of quantum experiments is beneficial
