PhD-Positions and PostDoc-Positions available for: Photonic Quantum Computation and Quantum Simulation

ROYAL HOLLOWAY, University of London

Post-doctoral Research Assistant, Department of Mathematics

Salary for the post is £32,106 per annum inclusive of London Allowance.

The Department of Mathematics is seeking to recruit a post-doctoral research assistant to work with Dr Jonathan Barrett in the areas of Quantum Information Theory, and Foundations of Quantum Theory. The position is available from the 1st September 2011 and will run for two years.

The Institute of Theoretical Physics invites applications for a position as a Research Assistant (EntgGr. (Salary Group) 13 TV-L) to be appointed as soon as possible. The position is limited to three years.

== Responsibilities and duties ==

This position is part of an ERC project aimed at applying quantum information theory techniques to quantum field theory and is therefore limited to three years. The objective of the project is to develop new theoretical and numerical tools to study quantum field theory.

== Employment conditions ==

Two postdoc positions are advertised in the approximately 30 member quantum group, led by Samson Abramsky and Bob Coecke:

The group has a has a multidisciplinary research activity including the areas of quantum foundations and quantum computation, category theory, computer science logic and AI including computational linguistics.

The Institute for Quantum Computing is inviting applications for postdoctoral positions in all aspects of quantum information processing, bridging areas from fundamental theory to physical implementations.

Hybrid architectures for quantum information processing
Laboratoire Kastler Brossel, Paris

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in experimental quantum optics and quantum information at Laboratoire Kastler Brossel (LKB), in Paris (France). LKB is jointly run by Université P. et M. Curie, Ecole Normale Supérieure and CNRS.

Optical quantum memories with cold atomic ensembles
Laboratoire Kastler Brossel, Paris

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in experimental quantum optics and quantum information at Laboratoire Kastler Brossel (LKB), in Paris (France). LKB is jointly run by Université P. et M. Curie, Ecole Normale Supérieure and CNRS.

This postdoctoral work will tackle the crucial question of the practical security of QKD systems. Indeed, while QKD can theoretically be proven absolutely secure, practical implementations may suffer from technological and protocol-operational imperfections that an attacker could exploit in order to compromise the security of the key establishment.

The quantum computation and information group at the University of Bristol offers a number of post-doctoral positions of two years duration, available for research in theoretical aspects of quantum information, quantum computation and foundations of quantum mechanics.

The Department (see http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/) invites applications for a post-doctoral research position to commence on 1 October 2011. The successful candidate will be associated with the Centre for Quantum Information and Foundations (formerly Centre for Quantum Computation) of the University of Cambridge (see http://cam.qubit.org), to work on a scientific research project on Mathematical Characterizations of Quantum Reality, funded by the John Templeton Foundation.
