PhD in Quantum Field Theory

Are you intrigued by quantum physics and excited about the novel opportunities emerging from quantum technologies? Do you want to explore how quantum optics and quantum information science can shed light on one of the most profound open questions in modern physics: the interface between quantum mechanics and gravity?/nAt the Section for Quantum Physics and Information Technology (QPIT), we are seeking an excellent and highly motivated PhD candidate to work on exploring connections between quantum mechanics and gravity, in particular on theoretical development of potential low-energy (table-top) tests probing such connections with techniques from quantum optics and quantum information science./nAt QPIT you will be part of bigQ - Center for Macroscopic Quantum States - a Danish national Center of Excellence in quantum information science and technology. The purpose of the center is to explore quantum physics in new macroscopic regimes, deepening our understanding of quantum physics, and speeding up the development of emerging quantum technologies./nThe scholarship for the PhD degree is subject to academic approval, and the candidate will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes at DTU./nThe period of employment is 3 years. The starting date is 1 March 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter.
