About

The Vienna Doctoral Program on Complex Quantum Systems (CoQuS) Summer Schools are annual events organized by PhD students of the CoQuS programme. Over the past 12 years, highly distinguished international experts have given introductions into ground-breaking theoretical concepts and experimental approaches in fundamental and applied quantum science which they pioneered in their own research. The Vienna Doctoral Program on Complex Quantum Systems (CoQuS) funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) is a joint initiative of the University of Vienna and the Vienna University of Technology. It acts as a training center for more than 50 early stage researchers who are selected from an international pool of applicants, based on their academic excellence, scientific success and ambition.
