This project aims to master the underlying principles, with particular attention to applications such as nanocircuits and their components. Objectives are to fully understand spin transport, diffusion and injection into semiconductors. These properties are fundamental for developing semiconductor and hybrid (metal/semiconductor) spintronics devices.

2007 or immediately thereafter, to work in collaboration with Professor Sougato Bose (for link to the group see: http://www.tampa.phys.ucl.ac.uk/quinfo/). The first position, extendable to up to 3 years subject to performance, is for working on spin chains as networking elements for quantum computers, on various theoretical schemes for entanglement generation in quantum optics and on schemes for investigating the macroscopic limits of quantum mechanics. As a result, it is desirable that the candidate has an expertise in one or more of the topics of entanglement, exactly solvable many-body systems, DMRG and other numerical simulations (MATLAB experience preferred), decoherence models and quantum optics. The second position, for 1.5 years (if starting from 1st October 2007), is more oriented towards the theory for physical implementations of spin chain based quantum information schemes in solid state or other systems. For this position, it is desirable to have both a strong numerical simulation experience, as well as some experience of solid state physics. It will also involve speaking with experimentalists. For both the positions, there will be a dedicated student to aid in the postdoc's work and the postdoc will be expected to co-supervise the work of this student. Additionally, for the second position, collaborations with various QIPIRC groups in the UK, particularly experimentalists, are expected. Please send your CV as early as possible with complete list of publications to sougato.bose@gmail.com. The deadline is 15th of July, 2007, however, applications will be reviewed till a selection of candidates are made. In most cases, a telephone interview will be conducted first (or a direct meeting when possible) followed by the requirement of two email references from referees. Decisions are expected to be finalized by the end of July.

and Institute for Mathematical Sciences, Imperial College London, UK

We are seeking a highly motivated researcher for up to 36-month within the Quantum Optics and Laser Science group and the interdisciplinary Institute for Mathematical Sciences to start, preferably, in September 2007 or as soon as possible afterwards. The work will be carried out in the research group of Prof Martin Plenio.

The purpose of this project is to study the novel possibilities offered by arrays of cavities, each interacting strongly with atoms, in particular their potential for the generation and manipulation of entanglement and the creation of locally addressable, effective many-particle Hamiltonians. This study is intended to pave the way towards the application of such devices as quantum simulators. The research will address the underlying theory of the Hamiltonians realizable in this system, the experimental feasibility and optimisation of the scheme as well as the issue of measurement and verification.

A PhD in physics is required and experience in theoretical quantum optics and/or quantum information science would be essential. The candidate will have knowledge and/or experience in cavity QED, the numerical simulation of such systems as well as quantum-many body systems and basic aspects of quantum information. The candidate possesses programming skills in some of the following Fortran, MatLab, C and Mathematica.

The salary will be in the range £23,850 - 34,750 per annum, depending upon qualifications.

A job description and an application form can be obtained from the following website: http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/employment/research. Alternatively, please contact Ms Judith Baylis, Email: j.baylis@imperial.ac.uk Tel: +44 (0) 208 594 7713.

The aim of project QICS is to gain a deeper insight into what Quantum Computation (QC) is in general, its structure, scope and limits, in the light of the recent development of alternative formats for QC, in particular the measurement-based models. The aim is also to develop high-level methods for QC, adapting and extending the methods successfully used in classical computation, such as type systems, logics and calculi, together with a study of the underlying mathematical structures. The members of the Quantum Computation Group of LIG (Prof. Pablo Arrighi, Dr. Philippe Jorrand, Dr. Marie Lalire, Dr. Mehdi Mhalla, Dr. Simon Perdrix) are involved in the following topics of QICS:

• Structures and methods for measurement-based quantum computation: one-way quantum computation, graph states algorithmics, computational universality of graph states, mathematical properties of graph states, minimal resources for measurement-based QC.

• Quantum abstract machines, automata and languages: classically-controlled QC, measurement calculus, quantum cellular automata, quantum lambda-calculi, semantics for quantum calculi, types for quantum data and entanglement, abstract interpretation of quantum programs, quantum process calculi.

The expected profile of applicants is a recent doctoral degree in Computer Science, and a proved expertise in Quantum Computation. Other, less standard profiles will be considered as well, provided that applicants can show their ability to bring actual contributions to one or several of the above research topics.
