Master's thesis
We are actively seeking committed Master’s students with a keen interest in Quantum Optics and Quantum Metrology to join our dynamic research group.
At the intersection of cutting-edge research and practical applications, we focus on developing robust and compact technologies, including space-qualified apparatus and portable setups. Our core mission revolves around advancing time and frequency references. Specific positions are available for Master’s students eager to contribute to developing the next generation of active optical atomic clocks, poised to surpass the stability of current frequency standards.
For a detailed exploration of the available projects, we invite you to connect directly with Dr. Amir Mahdian: mahdianphysik.hu-berlin.de.
Your inquiries are not just welcomed; they are encouraged!

Bachelor thesis / Master thesis / Studentische Hilfskraft (SHK) position
We are looking for highly motivated students to work in an ultra-cold atom experiment which acts as a test-bed for developing micro-integrated technologies and for quantum memories.
- Topic 1: Within our work focussed on machine learning based optimisation, you would develop python code for several cameras used to image optical potentials. This would include both developing control software compatible with our existing experimental control methods, and analysis of images captured. The project may be extended to include the integration of machine learning algorithms in control code.
- Topic 2: You would design, build, and optimise a Light-Induced Atomic Desorption (LIAD) system to increase atom numbers in our 2D magneto-optical trap. This will involve therotical research into the technique, mechanical and electrical design of the system, and experimental implementation in an existing cold atom experiment.
For more details or to express an interest, please contact Dr. Elisa Da Ros: elisa.da.rosphysik.hu-berlin.de
