Physicist for quantum information theory and quantum cryptography (f/m/x)

At the Institute for the Protection of Maritime Infrastructures in Bremerhaven, we research and develop innovative solutions to strengthen the resilience of maritime infrastructures and to make them adaptable, secure, and sustainable. In close collaboration with partners from research, industry, and other stakeholders in maritime security, we combine technological innovation with practical expertise, offering you the opportunity to contribute to future-oriented projects.

## What to expect

The “Situation Awareness and Cyber Security” group is working on innovative security concepts, including the development and research of methods for improving and evaluating the cyber-physical security properties of maritime critical infrastructures. Quantum computers are in this context of great interest.

We are looking for a talented researcher in the area quantum information theory and quantum cryptography.

## Your tasks

You will conduct in-depth research into quantum information theory and quantum cryptography, quantum algorithms, complexity theory and the use of quantum computers for cryptanalysis.

Interdisciplinary collaboration with other groups (both internal and external).

Document and share your findings through reports, publications and presentations in specialist journals and at national and international conferences.

## Your profile

A completed academic degree (university diploma or Master’s degree) in an information-processing discipline (e.g. computer science or IT security), a natural science discipline (e.g. mathematics, physics), an engineering discipline (e.g. electrical engineering), or other degree programmes relevant to the role

• Specialist knowledge in the fields of quantum information theory and cryptography
• Ability and willingness to adopt a mathematically formal approach to work
• Knowledge of common programming paradigms and languages, as well as software development methods

Remuneration is based on qualifications and the scope of duties, up to pay band 13 of the TVöD.

We look forward to getting to know you!
