A fully funded (tuition and stipend) Ph.D. position is available to work with Matthew Leifer in the Computational and Data Sciences program at Chapman University. Chapman University is home to the Institute for Quantum Studies, which is one of the leading centers for research in the foundations of quantum theory.
Many-body physics with photons and polaritons is a highly interdisciplinary field, merging diverse areas such as nano-photonics, quantum optics, condensed matter physics, and quantum technologies. The inherent accessibility to local observables, and the ability to probe out-of-equilibrium phenomena make driven many-body photonic systems especially promising for a variety of applications in quantum simulations and quantum computing, as well as in materials science and optical circuitry.
The Quantum Computing Lab in the Department of Computer Science at Virginia Commonwealth University is seeking a motivated PhD student in the area of quantum computation and information. Our lab currently focuses primarily on Quantum Hamiltonian Complexity, though areas such as quantum algorithms and quantum cryptography are also of interest. More information can be found at:

Dear all,
We are announcing Quantum UK 2015: The Science and Innovation Conference of the UK Quantum Technology Hubs. You are all warmly invited to attend! The conference will be held at St. John’s College, Oxford, from 28th-30th September.
We will hear the latest developments from all 4 of the UK Q. Tech. Hubs, focussed on quantum enhanced imaging, sensing, communications and computing. We will also have reports from the global Q. Tech.
Oxford Instruments and IOP invites you to join an informative webinar on one-dimensional quantum wire: physics and applications at ultra low temperatures, to be held on thursday, 26th March at 15:00 GMT (16:00 CET, 10:00 EST), presented by two speakers:
This is an exciting time to be studying quantum algorithms. As the technological challenges of building a quantum computer continue to be met there is still much to learn about the power of quantum computing. Which problems could a quantum computer solve faster than a classical device? and which problems remain hard? What will be the killer application that incentives industrial investment?
Quantum information processing provides a plethora of new problems and research topics suitable for tackling using computer algebra systems. This includes the problems of characterizing multipartite entanglement, generation and optimization of quantum computational circuits and analysis of quantum walks and quantum automata. In the reverse direction, quantum algorithms which outperform their classical counterparts may be of use in symbolic calculations (e.g. Grobner Bases).
Applications from Indian nationals are invited for the following positions (initially for 1 year) under the project “Topology, quantum computation and spintronics with Dirac materials” in the School of Physical Sciences, NISER, Bhubaneswar, India funded by Dept. of Science and Technology, DST-Nanomisssion, Govt. of India.

Date/time: Tue. May 20th 2014 2pm BST/UTC+1
Speaker: Daniel Gottesman (Perimeter Institute)
Title: Fault-tolerant quantum computation with constant overhead
Our activities in quantum information concentrate on the implementation of simple quantum algorithms and the development of techniques for reducing decoherence and errors. Our experimental setups include magnetic resonance and high-resolution laser systems.
