A postdoctoral position is available immediately for up to three years for experimental research in quantum control of spin states in condensed matter. These experiments will involve electron and nuclear magnetic resonance and related quantum control, including pulsed magnetic resonance spectroscopy, possibly with optical excitation and/or electrical detection.

PhD position in Quantum Random Walks, funded by IRCSET (essentially the Irish government). Application is directly through IRCSET at http://www.ircset.ie/Default.aspx?tabid=66

This is a theoretical project that addresses foundational aspects of quantum information processing with a focus on structural features of qudit systems. While much effort has been spent on investigating quantum state spaces, relatively little is known about the structure of quantum observables. The mathematical duality of states and observables provides a guarantee that whatever one learns about one side is relevant for the other, so that it is to be expected that studying structures of quantum observables will provide a new angle and open up new questions.

We would like to draw your attention to the workshop '''Quantum Science and Technologies'''. The European Quantum Information community has a tradition of biannual conferences (the last one was in September 2009 in Rome) covering the whole field, alternated with workshops on more specific themes, and this will be the 2010-2011 workshop in this series.

We are delighted to announce that the *First Colloquium of the French Groupe de Recherche 'Information Quantique: Fondements et Applications' (GDR - IQFA)* will take place *from the 23th to the 25th of March 2011 at the University of Nice - Sophia Antipolis*, in the Theater of the "Big Castle" (Campus Valrose).

'''Aim and Scope of the Colloquium'''

Jon Cartwright at PhysicsWorld writes: ''Two independent groups have demonstrated how a pair of entangled photons can transfer their entanglement to and from a solid – the process that should one day form the backbone of so-called quantum memories or repeaters. These devices would enable quantum communication systems to transmit information over larger distances, with significantly reduced degradation.''

Quantum Gases and Quantum Information Group at the University of Amsterdam is looking for a talented PhD student to work on '''Nanoscale magnetic trap arrays: quantum simulators on an atom chip'''.

The quest for a complete set of physical or information-theoretic principles that capture the essence of quantum information processing is attracting an increasing number of researchers. This new research trend aims at deriving quantum protocols and connections between them directly from basic principles, without assuming quantum theory and its mathematical dowry of Hilbert spaces and observable algebras.

Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia is seeking to fill 5, 3-yr postdoctoral posts (2 Experiment, 3 Theory), in the areas of

* Diamond Quantum Science
* Quantum Nanophotonics
* Hybrid Quantum Engineering
* Theoretical Quantum Simulations
* Topological or Many-Body Quantum Science
