print Research Areas: Overview Research Programme and PhD Project Examples   Each PhD thesis relates to at least 2 out of the 4 initiating research groups. Thus to each project there will be a main supervisor, and associate supervisor from another Munich group and a partner abroad forming your individual QCCC-thesis advisory board.   Concrete examples of PhD projects include the following categories (upon application, you may express your preferences of interest in these fields):   1. Quantum Control and Experimental Realisation joint projects of Prof. Glaser's and Prof. Cirac's group with partners in Harvard, Innsbruck, Waterloo, Melbourne on optimal steerings of quantum models on spin and pseudo-spin systems, Josephson elements, ion traps, SQUIDs etc.   2. Quantum Information Theory and Multi-Party Entanglement joint projects of Prof. Rempe's, Prof. Weinfurter's and Prof. Glaser's group with partners in Madrid on entangled ordered systems.   3. Linear Optical Quantum Computation joint projects of Prof. Rempe's, Prof. Weinfurter's and Prof. Cirac's group with partners at Imperial College London and University of Cambridge (UK) on optical quantum gates, state mapping, teleportation and entanglement.   4. Controlling Individual Atoms in Cavities joint projects of Prof. Rempe's and Prof. Weinfurter's group with partners in Innsbruck, ICFO Barcelona, Imperial College London and University of Cambridge on addressing single atoms in cavities.   5. Quantum Cryptography joint project of Prof. Weinfurter's and Prof. Rempe's group with partners in Geneva and Erlangen on prototypes for secure quantum communication designed for industry production.
