Open Call for 2010 to the Vienna Doctoral Program on Complex Quantum Systems

Submitted by Jmencisom on Tue, 16/02/2010 - 08:55.

Application deadline: 

Wednesday, April 14, 2010

The Vienna Doctoral Program on Complex Quantum Systems opens the new call for application. New graduate students may be accepted to start in the program with October 2010.

The Vienna doctoral program on Complex Quantum Systems aims at providing young researchers with a comprehensive view of experimental and theoretical quantum physics. It puts a strong emphasis on quantum optics and quantum information in systems as various as photons, neutrons, mesons, atoms, molecules and solids.

Seeing the Quantum in Chemistry

Submitted by JMiszczak on Fri, 12/02/2010 - 07:35.

Physicists at [http://jila.colorado.edu/ JILA] have for the first time observed chemical reactions near absolute zero, demonstrating that chemistry is possible at ultralow temperatures and that reaction rates can be controlled using quantum mechanics, the peculiar rules of submicroscopic physics.

PhD positions - Quantum Many-Body Systems Division (Prof. Bloch)

Submitted by Jmencisom on Fri, 29/01/2010 - 08:32.

Application deadline: 

Saturday, January 30, 2010

The Quantum Many-Body Systems Division (Prof. Bloch) at the Max-Planck-Institute of Quantum Optics is seeking applicants for PhD positions within the group. The research of the group is focused on the field of ultracold bosonic and fermionic quantum gases with a special interest in strongly correlated quantum systems, quantum information processing and quantum optical applications.

Google claims to have demonstrated quantum computer image search

Submitted by Burgarth on Mon, 14/12/2009 - 14:17.

From the blog: [...] Today, at the Neural Information Processing Systems conference (NIPS 2009), we show the progress we have made. We demonstrate a detector that has learned to spot cars by looking at example pictures. It was trained with adiabatic quantum optimization using a D-Wave C4 Chimera chip. There are still many open questions but in our experiments we observed that this detector performs better than those we had trained using classical solvers running on the computers we have in our data centers today.

NIST Demonstrates ‘Universal’ Programmable Quantum Processor for Quantum Computers

Submitted by JMiszczak on Tue, 17/11/2009 - 19:54.

According to NIST News Page, Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated the first “universal” programmable quantum information processor able to run any program allowed by quantum mechanics—the rules governing the submicroscopic world—using two quantum bits (qubits) of information. The processor could be a module in a future quantum computer, which theoretically could solve some important problems that are intractable today.

Postdoctoral Position in Theoretical Quantum Information at Harvard University

Submitted by Mhyung on Tue, 10/11/2009 - 04:40.

The Aspuru-Guzik group at the department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Harvard University is currently offering a one year (renewable to two years) postdoctoral position for a project on theoretical investigation of simulating physical/chemical systems with quantum computing devices.

Scientific IT Specialist

Submitted by Msoede on Mon, 09/11/2009 - 23:53.

Scientific IT Specialist

Scope of Position:

The Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics (PI) seeks a creative individual with experience in both scientific research and information technology (IT) to fill a new hybrid research / IT position within the Institute. The successful applicant will bring his / her own vision to the position and help define it. A key aspect of the position is to assist PI’s scientific staff in making effective use of IT resources. We expect this position’s activities to evolve over time as needs and opportunities arise.
