Full description

The »Quantum Machine Learning« team at Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering IAO in Stuttgart conducts research on quantum computing-based data processing and develops machine learning methods in support of quantum technologies. The team is part of flaQship, the Fraunhofer Lab for applied quantum computing Stuttgart-Heilbronn, which unites the expertise of Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering IAO and the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA. Within flaQship, the research area Quantum Service Engineering and High-Performance Computing focuses on making quantum computing usable as service-oriented applications, on integrating quantum resources into existing IT workflows, and on operating the laboratory and High-Performance computing infrastructure on which our research, trainings and demonstrators rely.

An important part of these activities is our »Quantum Lab«, an interactive learning and demonstration environment that combines hands-on physics experiments, quantum computing demonstrators, and educational exhibits. The lab supports research, training programs, workshops, demonstrations, and visitor events, helping to make quantum technologies tangible and accessible for students, researchers, industry partners, and the broader public.

To support the ongoing development and operation of this unique environment, we are looking for a Student Assistant who will help maintain and further develop the Quantum Lab, contribute to new demonstrators and experimental setups, and support activities that communicate quantum computing to a broad audience.

Be part of change

  • You design, set up, and continuously improve experiments and demonstrators that bring cutting-edge quantum computing research to life
  • You develop engaging explanations and supporting materials that make complex scientific concepts accessible to a wide range of audiences
  • You help keep our Quantum Lab and its demonstrators ready for training sessions, visitor programs, and public demonstrations
  • You support lab tours, events, and outreach activities and introduce visitors to our experiments and research in an understandable and inspiring way
  • You contribute to creating hands-on learning experiences that showcase the potential of quantum computing and quantum technologies
