The original motivation to build a quantum computer came from Feynman, who imagined a machine capable of simulating generic quantum mechanical systems—a task that is believed to be intractable for classical computers. Such a machine could have far-reaching applications in the simulation of many-body quantum physics in condensed-matter, chemical and high-energy systems.

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.
Applications to the interntional workshop Many-Body Quantum Dynamics in Closed Systems: challenges and applications, to be held in Barcelona, are open. The workshop aims at bringing together leading experts on the subject with young and motivated researchers in a scientifically stimulating atmosphere.
We are pleased to inform you that following a very successful editions of Benasque 1998, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2007, and 2009, we are organizing another workshop of the similar type from June 12 to July 1, 2011. This is to invite you to apply using the electronic form that you can find on the website specified below. We encourage you to apply as soon as possible and not later than the end of March 2011. The number of participants at the Benasque Centre at any given time is limited to about 50.
James Dacey at PhysicsWorld writes: ''In a fascinating case of physics being turned on its head, a group of researchers at Yale University in the US has created an "anti-laser" that almost perfectly absorbs incoming beams of coherent light. The invention is based on a theoretical study reported last summer in which Douglas Stone and his Yale colleagues claimed that such a system could be possible in a device that they call a coherent perfect absorber (CPA).
''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.
An EU-funded team of researchers has set out to provide mathematicians with their very own periodic table ... of shapes. Researchers at Imperial College London (ICL) in the UK are collaborating with colleagues in Australia, Japan and the Russian Federation to identify the basic building blocks of all possible shapes in the universe across three, four and five dimensions, and analyse how these components relate to each other.

The Workshop aims to convene some of the world's experts in quantum information to discuss the latest results in this and related fields. The main aim is to provide a relaxed setting, avoiding an excess of talks, in order to stimulate discussion and new ideas.
It will also present an ideal opportunity for students beginning in the field to broaden and deepen their knowledge, especially those who will have just attended the preceding School.
This is an introductory- to mid-level postgraduate school, focusing on theoretical and experimental aspects of quantum information and quantum computation. It is targeted at MSc. and PhD students wishing to quickly learn the basics of these rapidly developing fields from some of the world's leading experts.
Each course will consist of 4:30hrs of lectures in English. There will also be a discussion session between students and lecturers.
