The Institute for Photonic Quantum Systems (PhoQS) at Paderborn University is establishing cross-institutional infrastructure teams (ISTs). The infrastructure teams take on basic tasks that lay the foundations for research at PhoQS.

The employees of the infrastructure teams are PhoQS members and are organised operationally by the infrastructure manager. In accordance with their professional affiliation, each infrastructure team is organisationally assigned to a working group leader from the PhoQS board.

The infrastructure teams take on tasks for all PhoQS members to support them in projects, especially in the training of doctoral students and postdocs, and to transfer expertise across the groups.

Workshops are the sole responsibility of the infrastructure manager.

In the international "Photonic Quantum Systems Laboratory" (PhoQS Lab), scientists from experimental and theoretical physics, electrical engineering, computer science and mathematics will work together in a building with state-of-the-art technological infrastructure to develop new basic research approaches both in technology development for photon-based quantum applications and in the theoretical and experimental conceptualisation of scalable quantum photonics.
