On February 3rd - 6th, 2022, the 2nd Workshop on Entanglement Assisted Classical Communication Networks (EACN) will take place at Physikzentrum Bad Honnef. This event is a joint workshop of the Emmy Noether Group “Theoretical Quantum System Design” supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) and the Institute for Communications Engineering supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) with the project QR.X. Organizers: Boulat Bash (University of… [read more]

The institute for communications engineering is currently offering three positions for doctoral candidates or young postdoctoral candidates with the topic “quantum information theory and hardware-related quantum error correction” (TV-L E13) (f/m/x). In this project based on quantum information theory for a uniform system approach, basic protocols for quantum token-based authentication and secure storage are to be developed. Here, quantum token applications are to be examined both as source… [read more]

The Institute for Communications Engineering is currently offering seven positions for PhD or postdoctoral candidates for the project "6G-life" which is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The position is funded for four years with a possible extension. The project will start on October 1, 2021. [read more]
