PhD position in the field of quantum-inspired imaging
At the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation IOSB, we turn the latest scientific findings into technical innovations and want to make our contribution to shaping the future. Are you interested in a scientific career in the field of quantum-inspired imaging? Then we have an exciting position for you in our research group QmagiC - Quantum Super-Resolution Imaging in Complex Media. The QmagiC research group uses techniques from quantum optics and quantum metrology to develop quantum-inspired imaging systems that achieve resolutions far below the diffraction limit. The main tool to reach such high resolution is spatial-mode demultiplexing (SpaDe). In most practical situations imaging systems are preceded by complex media, e.g. the atmosphere when observing objects on the Earth’s surface from satellites or layers of tissue in biomedical imaging. For this reason, with the goal of bringing quantum-inspired imaging into real world applications, the QmagiC group investigates how to perform SpaDe-based imaging through complex optical media. To achieve this goal the QmagiC group is searching a motivated PhD candidate to tackle the experimental challenges associated with quantum-inspired imaging through complex optical media.
Are you interested in quantum-inspired imaging, and you would like to do your PhD in this field? Then apply with us and seize the opportunity to work in a dynamic research environment at a renowned research institution!
