The Electronic Vision(s) Group at the Kirchhoff-Institute for Physics was founded in 1995. The initial goal was to use the infrastructure available at the ASIC Laboratory for Microelectronics for the development of a vision substitution system based on CMOS image sensors. It soon became clear that the interdisciplinary nature of this project opens exciting research opportunities also in neighboring fields.
The group has consequently expanded its scope into different areas of mixed-mode, massively parallel VLSI technology, especially neuromorphic technologies. The group developed the BrainScaleS neuromorphic compute architecture and operates it as a service in the context of the Human Brain Project / EBRAINS. Currently the second generation of the BrainScaleS system is being commissioned for online usage both for neuroscience experiments as well as a general research tool.
This post doc position is focussed on exploring where the use of accelerated analog neuromorphic hardware can greatly benefit or even make possible advanced experiments in quantum physics. The position (E13) is time-limited to 2 years.
