Welcome to Quantiki, the world's leading portal for everyone involved in quantum information science. No matter if you are a researcher, a student or an enthusiast of quantum theory, this is the place you are going to find useful and enjoyable! While here on Quantiki you can: browse our content, including fascinating and educative articles, then create your own account and log in to gain more editorial possibilities.
Add new content, such as information about upcoming quantum events, open positions for quantum scientists and existing quantum research groups. We are also distributing news via X (Twitter) feed, Bluesky news feed, and LinkedIn profile. We encourage you to follow us on social media to get the recent news from quantum infromation community.
We are pleased to announce the PhD course:
Quantum information theory and geometry
June-July 2017, University of Trento (Italy).
JM. Landsberg (Texas A&M)

Quantum information theory is at the intersection of physics, computer science and mathematics. While its potential is still in the way of being developed, what we already know suggests that it may have a dramatic impact on everyday technologies. Given the completely new logic underlying a quantum computer, new mathematical and computer science tools are required to optimize its architecture and then fully exploit its computational potential.
Next Q+ Hangout is on November 22nd, 2 pm GMT.
As usual, if you are watching with a group and want to reserve a seat in the hangout then leave a comment here:

The Physics Graduate Program of the Federal University of Santa Catarina has two positions for visiting foreign professors in the fields of both experimental and theoretical physics working in the following research fields: Astrophysics, Atomic and Molecular Physics, Quantum Optics and Quantum Information, Condensed Matter, Statistical Mechanics, Mathematical Physics, Quantum Field Theory, and Nuclear and Hadron Physics.
Final Conference of PICQUE and QUCHIP projects
Rome, 26-29 September 2017
Invited Tutorials
Scott Aaronson, MIT
Elham Kashefi, University of Edinburgh
Nice, 8-10 February 2017
The school will consist on a series of courses that aim to revise the fundamentals of quantum information, including cryptography, relating them to specific implementations in photonics with emphasis on the added value of reconfigurable devices. The Courses will also discuss the interfaces between different devices.
Applications are invited for a Government of Ireland Postdoctoral Fellowship in Quantum Computation (Theory) at the National University of Ireland, Galway.
In the first instance, please contact soon Dr. M. Mc Gettrick [michael.mcgettrick@nuigalway.ie] for initial discussions on the research programme.
It from Qubit, the Simons Collaboration on Quantum Fields, Gravity, and Information, anticipates appointing up to 5 postdoctoral fellows across the following locations:
Dorit Aharonov (Jerusalem)
Patrick Hayden and Leonard Susskind (Stanford)
Juan Maldacena (IAS)
Alex Maloney (McGill)
Rob Myers (Perimeter)
The quantum group at the University of Malta is seeking one or more PhD students and a post-doctoral researcher to work on the Horizon 2020 project HOT: Hybrid Optomechanical Technologies. These positions are accompanied by a generous salary, a travel and equipment budget, and are fully funded for three years. We also promise copious sunshine and great beaches.
