Description/content

The IMPRS for Quantum Dynamics and Control is a graduate school with its headquarters at the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems in Dresden/Germany and eight partner institutions in Dresden/Germany, Prague/Czech Republic, and Wroclaw/Poland. The central theme of the school (reflecting the research interests of many of our partners) is the study of dynamical manipulation of quantum systems. However, the scope of the graduate school extends to various related topics in chemistry and condensed matter physics as well as atomic, molecular and optical physics.

We are looking for highly talented and motivated students from all around the world to join our affiliated research groups. Multiple PhD positions will be awarded on a competitive basis. Successful candidates will receive support that fully covers their living expenses.

The thesis work is complemented by a comprehensive training programme in English. The PhD degree will be conferred by the Technische Universität Dresden or by one of the partner institutions.
