Erwin-Schrödinger Center for Quantum Science & Technology (ESQ)

ESQ is an Austria-wide

• Postdoc Program to support the integration of incoming experienced researchers
• Discovery Program that shall allow exploring highly innovative research beyond any traditional thinking.

ESQ is

• Funded by the Austrian Ministry of Science, Research and Economy (BMWFW)
• Coordinated by the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW), 
• Operated in close partnership with 28 Austrian research groups at
  • the University of Vienna 
  • the Vienna University of Technology
  • the University of Innsbruck
  • the Austrian Academy of Sciences

ESQ groups are

• Working at the forefront of both experimental and theoretical research
• Focused on the foundations of quantum physics and quantum optics
• Exploring emerging technologies around quantum computing, simulation, many-body physics, communication, sensing and metrology
• Studying systems as diverse as photons, ultra-cold atoms and molecules, trapped ions, nanodiamonds, superconductors, clusters and biomolecules, levitated nanoparticles, nanomechanical devices and hybrid quantum systems.
