Call for Applications:
A 2,5 year Post-Doc position is available at the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation at the University of Amsterdam. The candidate will join the Vidi project of Dr. Sonja Smets.

VIDI Project: ‘Reasoning about quantum interaction: Logical modelling and verification of multi-agent quantum protocols’:

As for classical computing, logic is expected to play an essential role in the understanding of quantum computation and quantum information, and especially in the formal verification of quantum communication protocols.

Constantin Piron, famous for many things including the Jauch-Piron NoGo-theorem and his reconstruction theorem, and of course his beautiful book Foundations of Quantum Physics, has died at the age of 80 on May 9, 2012. While usually associated with quantum logic, he strongly emphasized an operational underpinning of axiomatic concepts, and boldly went against any dogma, including quantum logic.

We are pleased to announce the availability of a PhD position at the University of Nottingham within the project on a Quantum integrated Light and Matter interface funded by the European Comission through the Fet-open Young explorers call. The aim of the project is to create a single device, which permits to manipulate, store and control light on a single photon level using tailored quantum matter.

We are now accepting submissions for QCRYPT 2012 to be held in Singapore 10 – 14 September, 2012. Submissions of abstracts for contributed papers are sought in both theoretical as well as experimental quantum cryptography and related fields. We encourage submissions from related areas such as non-locality and information theory. Paper submission deadline is 20 May, 2012 and poster submission deadline is 1 August 2012.

We are currently entering a new technological era where quantum mechanics is used not only to predict physical behaviour but increasingly to exploit quantum resources in applications such as Quantum Communication, Cryptography, Computation and Metrology. Due to the probabilistic nature of quantum measurements, statistical inference based on measurement data plays an increasing role in analysing and validating the results of quantum experiments.
