PostDoc

A postdoctoral position is available in the group of Prof. Alexander Korotkov at the University of California, Riverside. The research projects involve theory of quantum measurement, quantum feedback, and quantum computing with superconducting qubits. Applicants are expected to have previous experience at least in one of the following theoretical areas: quantum computing, quantum measurement, quantum trajectories, Josephson junction devices.

The University of Nottingham has opened the 2013 calls for Anne McLaren Fellowships (for outstanding female applicants with up to 4 years postdoctoral experience in scientific disciplines) and Nottingham Research Fellowships (for outstanding candidates with up to 6 years postdoctoral experience in all disciplines).

Currently, there is a postdoc opening in the Optical Quantum Communication Theory Group at the Institute for Quantum Computing, University of Waterloo. The research is centered around efficient use of quantum repeater architectures to distribute secret key over significant distances. We are looking for candidates who approach that problem with security and key rate in mind.

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”.

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:

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.

The Center for Quantum Information and Control (CQuIC) at the Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque is seeking at least two postdoctoral fellows (PDF) in the groups of Profs. Carlton M. Caves and Ivan H. Deutsch with expertise in one or more of the following areas:

- Quantum control theory
- Quantum measurement theory and tomography
- Quantum metrology
- Quantum simulation and computation
- Quantum chaos

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.

PhD/postdoc positions at the Institute for Quantum Information, Aachen, Germany

A postdoctoral position and a PhD grant are available as part of a project involving three groups at the Université Libre de Bruxelles (Brussels, Belgium):
- Centre for Quantum Information and Communication (QuIC): Nicolas Cerf, Jérémie Roland
- Algorithms Research Group: Jean Cardinal and Stefan Langerman
- Discrete Mathematics Group: Sam Fiorini

The successful candidates will join one of the three teams and participate to their joint project ``COPHYMA'' (Unifying computational, physical and mathematical approaches to complexity).

The target area includes different topics in theor
