A Call for Papers has been opened for the Horizons Satellite Event "Mini Workshop on Quantum Information Science". The event will be held at the Department of Physics of National Taiwan University on the 19th of October, following the main "Horizons of Quantum Physics" workshop. More information on our website.

Date: Tuesday 25th September 2012
Time: 10:00am British Summer Time
Speaker: Stephanie Wehner (Singapore)
Title: Uncertainty and the generation of randomness
Abstract TBA

Please note the unusual time - this is because the talk is given from Singapore.

To watch the talk live, go to http://gplus.to/qplus at the appointed hour.

To keep up to date on Q+ hangouts, please follow us on:

Applications are invited for the above post to work with Dr Madalin Guta (School of Mathematics), Prof Juan Garrahan and Dr Igor Lesanovsky (School of Physics & Astronomy) on an EPSRC-funded project titled “Large deviations and dynamical phase transitions in open quantum systems: from mathematical theory to physical applications”.

Information on discounted hotel rates in Taipei City for participants to "Horizons of Quantum Physics" have been made available on our website www.quantumhorizons.org

We are happy to announce that Nature Physics will sponsor a Poster Award at our workshop. An Editor will hand the awards to to the five best posters.

Submission deadline:

Topics

Quantum Information tries to store, process and communicate information in quantum states, and explores the tasks which can be achieved efficiently using quantum mechanical rather than classical systems. For its implementation any physical platform has to fulfill complementary aspects of near perfect isolation along with a high degree of controllability.

A Post Doc. position in theoretical quantum optics is available at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, Denmark. The position is for research into one of the following two areas:

This is a rerun of Caslav Brukner's Q+ hangout that originally took place in July. Note the earlier than usual starting time.

Date: Tuesday 18th September
Time: 12noon British Summer Time
Speaker: Caslav Brukner (University of Vienna)
Title: Quantum correlations with indefinite causal order

A postdoctoral position is available in quantum information science at the University of Southern California in the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical Engineering. This position is for a research project involving the theory of weak and continuous measurement, quantum trajectories, and closed-loop quantum control, under the supervision of Prof. Todd Brun. The successful applicant should have a Ph.D.
