Asking For Information On Internships (I am interested in quantum information, solid-state, and many-body physics)

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a user seeking hands-on research experience through an internship before pursuing a PhD, planning to finish their bachelor's degree in early February. They express interest in quantum information, solid-state, and many-body physics, and are looking for recommendations on programs or opportunities. The user has already consulted their academic advisor for potential contacts but is eager to gather more options. There is also clarification on the timeline for the internship, which is intended to run from February to December 2025, coinciding with the application process for PhD programs that typically start in the fall. Participants emphasize the importance of reaching out to professors and departmental staff for additional resources and guidance.

Hello, kind souls.

I am planning to finish my bachelor in the start of next year (early February to be precise).

Before I go for my PhD (I will skip the master, something not unusual in my country, especially after a long bachelor like I did), I wish to get some more hands-on research experience with an internship in some lab or company.

I have been doing some research (and found some interesting options for me) but I just wanted to know if somebody here knows about any program that does something like this (word of mouth always seems to carry the best info from what I have perceived).

I am interested in quantum information, solid-state, and many-body physics and have a European passport.

For anybody that sees this thank you ( specialy If you happen to know something and take the time to write It down, but even If you don't thank you for taking some time to read It ).

Have you asked your professors and department head (or departmental staff)? That's often the best resources to start with.

Just to be clear, you want this to run from Feb 2025 to Sep 2026?

I have asked my orientator for some information and he gave me a few names I could contact to look for something, but I am still trying to get as much options as possible before reaching out to any of them.
But thanks very much for the addvice.

From Feb 2025 to dezember 2025 or any interval inside of this.
 
You're planning on starting a PhD in December? In most of the Northern Hemisphere, these programs start in Fall. Further, the time from application to start date is ~3/4 of a year, so that means when you apply for grad school, you will have just started to work in this program. It would have had time to improve your application.
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
