Five independent research groups at the Chair of Theoretical Nanophysics
The Chair of Theoretical Nanophysics, led by Prof. Dr. Ulrich Schollwöck, hosts five independent research groups covering strongly correlated quantum many-body systems, tensor-network methods, quantum simulation, lattice gauge theories and quantum chemistry.
We welcome applications for Bachelor and Master theses, PhD positions (typically 3 years) and postdoctoral positions (typically 2 years). Candidates are encouraged to contact the group leader whose research most closely matches their interests.
