Ultracold atom takes a quantum walk
Single atoms have been spotted doing the quantum version of the random walk by physicists in Germany. This sighting of a “quantum walk” could help in the design of quantum search algorithms, or in the understanding of the transition from the quantum, microscopic world to the classical, macroscopic world.

New Taught MSc in Quantum Technologies at University of Leeds, UK
The QI group at the University of Leeds is launching a new taught MSc programme in Quantum Technologies this year.
Postdoctoral Position in Mathematical Physics (Random Matrices)
The Department of Applied Mathematics at H.I.T. – Holon Institute of Technology (Holon, Israel) invites applications for a postdoctoral position in Mathematical Physics. The successful candidate is expected to be involved into a research at the crossroad of the Random Matrix Theory, Quantum Chaotic Systems, and the Theory of Integrable Hierarchies. Previous research record in one of those fields is an advantage, strong analytical skills is a must.
Cambridge Summer Workshop: Quantum Information Theory with Correlated and Finite Resources
Quantum Information Theory is the study of information-processing tasks such as storage and transmission of information, or manipulation of entanglement, using quantum-mechanical systems. Until very recently, the study of these processes was limited to the case in which the required resources, e.g. information sources, communication channels or entanglement resources, were assumed to be available for an infinite number of independent uses. In reality, however, resources are used a finite number of times, and there are unavoidable correlations between their successive uses.
Optimal quantum learning of a unitary transformation
ArXiv identifier:
0903.0543
Speakers:
Giulio Chiribella
We prove that the optimal strategy to store an unknown group transformation into a quantum memory is to apply the available uses in parallel on a suitable entangled state. The optimal retrieving strategy is the incoherent, ``measure-and-rotate'' strategy, in which the quantum memory is measured and a unitary depending on the outcome is performed. The same result holds for approximate re-alignment of reference frames for quantum communication.

Quantum stochastic walks: A generalization of classical random walks and quantum walks
ArXiv identifier:
0905.2942
Speakers:
Cesar A. Rodriguez-Rosario
We introduce the quantum stochastic walk (QSW), which determines the evolution of generalized quantum mechanical walk on a graph that obeys a quantum stochastic equation of motion. Using an axiomatic approach, we specify the rules for all possible quantum, classical and quantum-stochastic transitions of a vertex as defined from its connectivity. We show how the family of possible QSW encompasses both the classical random walk (CRW) and the quantum walks (QW) as special cases, but also includes more general probability distributions.
