Industrial internships

We're seeking a passionate intern in quantum algorithms & applications to pioneer with us in quantum-classical hybrid high-performance computing (HPC). Join our dynamic team to work on real-world ML/AI and HPC problems, and make significant contributions to quantum code synthesis.

Do you want to shape the future of quantum technologies by innovating cryogenics? Then read on!

The internship program at IQM is designed to bring highly qualified and motivated students with diverse backgrounds into the organization to work on projects linked to the main task of developing the hardware and software of a quantum computer based on superconducting circuits.

Are you excited about the integration of quantum technology into established platforms as a way to drive new interdisciplinary research? Then join our team and support us and our (inter)national partners in the development of a user-friendly microscope based on single NV centers.

Are you interested in embedded software and its application in quantum technologies? Then join our team and work on the development of a generic testing apparatus for (quantum) random number generators.

Satellite-based quantum key distribution (QKD) offers a paradigm-changing solution to the key distribution problem, enabling a new way of provably secure communication, especially over long distances. In this context, cryptographically secure random number generators are an essential building block of secure systems.

Within this internship, a High-performance FPGA-based Processing Algorithms for Secure Random Number Generation in Quantum Communications shall be designed and implemented to exploit advantages of quantum-based random number generation and to support its implementation in space-borne applications.”

In order to distribute generated secure quantum keys with space-based systems, the precise assignment of temporal events between sender and receiver is crucial. A technology demonstrator breadboard for a free-space time basis synchronization below 100ps is currently build up. Its photonic part shall now be complemented with high speed electronics to transmit accurate timing information in very low SNR situations.

Within this internship a conceptual design and implementation of high speed digital and analog electronics for time synchronization in quantum key distribution (QKD) shall be elaborated.

Satellite-based quantum key distribution (QKD) offers a paradigm-changing solution to the key distribution problem, enabling a new way of provably secure communication, especially over long distances. The QKD design at OHB is based on polarization encoded quantum bits (Qubits). To ensure correct assignment of transmitted and received polarization via a polarization rotating channel, a high-performance synchronization is decisive.

Within this internship a synchronization algorithm shall be developed and integrated within a microcontroller environment.
