PostDoc

Applications are invited for two postdoctoral position within the Ultracold Quantum Gases group of Dr. Thomas Busch in the Physics Department at University College Cork. Our theoretical group is working on testing and developing ideas in quantum engineering using systems using cold atoms. The two fellowships are in the areas of

* atom ion hybrid systems
* sub-wavelength addressing in optical lattices

''Postdoctoral position in the Quantum Information Group Télécom ParisTech ­ CNRS, Laboratoire Traitement et Communication de l'Information''

Experimental study of side-channel attacks in quantum key distribution systems

''Background and Description''

The new group of Prof. Stefan Kuhr at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, invites applications for a Postdoc position. The research project focuses on single-site imaging and manipulation of ultracold atoms in optical lattices. These novel techniques will be used for quantum simulation of strongly correlated many-body systems and for scalable quantum information processing. More information can be found at http://phys.strath.ac.uk/information/acadstaff/stefan.kuhr.php and by contacting Stefan Kuhr.

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in Quantum Information Theory available at the Institute for Theoretical Physics at ETH Zurich. The position is associated with the research group of Prof. Matthias Christandl. For an overview over current research activities, please consult http://www.qit.ethz.ch/ .

There are postdoc and PhD positions available in Mathematical Physics/Quantum Information Theory in the Department of Mathematics at the Technical University in Munich (Germany). Applicants should be

Applications are invited for the post of Research Scientist in the Quantum Information Group at Toshiba Research Europe Ltd. Research will be conducted on novel components and systems for quantum cryptography and is mainly experimental in character.

Candidates should hold a PhD in Physics, Electronic Engineering or a related discipline and demonstrated outstanding achievement in experimental quantum cryptography or quantum optics. Experience of optoelectronic components, fibre optic systems, digital electronics and control software would be an advantage.

''Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Quantum Nanophotonics - Lecturer/Senior Lecturer'''

The AtomChip Lab (www.bgu.ac.il/atomchip) at Ben-Gurion University (BGU) is searching for high quality candidates in a variety of fields, including, research into chip fabrication for quantum optics chips with atoms, ions and photons, fundamental research into atom optics with cold atoms, and applicative research which we are conducting in collaboration with the high-tech industry into atomic clocks and magnetic sensors with both hot and cold atoms. Our sub-group in theory also has open positions for qualified candidates.

There are postdoc and PhD positions available in Mathematical Physics/Quantum Information Theory in the Department of Mathematics at the Technical University in Munich (Germany). Applicants should be
• mathematicians, theoretical physicists or computer scientists,
• interested in mathematical physics, theoretical computer science, quantum information theory and/or other fields of quantum theory and its foundations,
• willing to contribute to undergraduate math education.

We invite applications for an interdisciplinary postdoctoral position in quantum information theory and quantum gravity, starting in the fall of 2011. The successful candidate will be hosted by the Quantum Gravity group at the Max Planck Institute (Albert Einstein Institute) for Gravitational Physics, Potsdam, Germany (http://www.aei.mpg.de/), and co-hosted by the Quantum Information Theory at the University of Potsdam (http://www.jense.qipc.org/).
