We are always looking for excellent students and researchers to join our team, so do not hesitate to contact us to inquire about possible openings.
Who are we?
We are a research group at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) studying quantum information processing, quantum communication and quantum sensing based on quantum optics, quantum optomechanics and diamond physics. Our vision is to generate macroscopic states of light, mechanics and spins to test quantum physics in new regimes and to interrogate disruptive new applications of sensing and information processing. Our main focus is basic research but we also strongly encourage and support innovation and industry partnerships.
Our group comprises around 45 people that include Faculty members, PhD students, postdocs, engineers and an administrator.
Our research center bigQ (Center for Macroscopic Quantum States) is supported by the Danish National Research Foundation with an 8 million Euro grant running until 2024, but we also enjoy significant funding from the Novo Nordisk Foundation, the Villum Foundation, the Innovation Fund Denmark, the Carlsberg Foundation and the Independent Research Fund Denmark.
DTU is a top-modern technical university located in the green city of Lyngby about 20 km north of Copenhagen. DTU has a great reputation and is among one of the highest ranked technical universities in Europe. The experimental facilities and general infrastructure are absolute world-class and the atmosphere is great.
