About the program "Materials and Concepts for Quantum Information Processing":

The Departments of Physics and Computer Sciences at the University of Dortmund offer several grants for Ph.D. or Postdoctoral studies within the program Materials and Concepts for Quantum Information Processing which is funded by the German National Science Foundation. Within 3-year Ph.D.-projects (since October 1st, 2001), interested candidates can participate in a topical research program on quantum computing in which different research teams of experimental and theoretical physics and computer science are involved. Projects are planned in the field of nuclear magnetic resonance, optics of semiconductor quantum dots and spin systems, preparation of nanocrystals and nanostructures, theory of spin relaxation, decoherence in solids, and algorithms of quantum computing.
