Applications are invited for an EPSRC-funded postdoctoral position in quantum information theory at Heriot-Watt University, to work with Dr Erika Andersson on quantum digital signatures. The work concerns investigating the security of novel schemes for quantum digital signatures. The position is fixed-term and for 16 months, possibly 18 months, and the starting date is between 1 April 2013 and 31 September 2013 by mutual agreement.

The KZN node of the South African National Institute for Theoretical Physics (NITheP) has one postdoctoral vacancy in the field of Open Quantum Systems and Quantum Information Processing and Communication.
The appointment will be made within the structure of the University of KwaZulu- Natal on a one–year contract basis, with the possibility of renewal for two additional years. Preferences will be given to candidates working on the application of the Theory of Open Quantum System to the design and implementation of quantum computers.
Submission deadline:
Tuesday, February 19, 2013
Registration deadline:

We are pleased to invite postgraduate researchers, from inside and outside the UK, to exchange ideas on the mathematical aspects of relativistic quantum physics. A special focus will be given to relativistic quantum information, a relatively young field which combines techniques from quantum field theory, quantum gravity, quantum information and quantum optics.
Our invited speakers reflect the diversity of areas covered:
Prof. Bob Coecke (Oxford)
Dr. Ivette Fuentes (Nottingham)
Dr. Etera Livine (Lyon)
Prof. Tim Ralph (Brisbane)

QIPC 2013 will cover:
Quantum information and quantum communication.
Physical realizations of quantum systems for information technology such as photons, single atoms, ions, molecules, nuclear and electron spins, superconducting circuits, micro- and nano-mechanics, hybrid quantum systems, degenerate quantum gases.
Topical subjects such as foundations of quantum information, quantum measurements, quantum interferometry, cavity QED, optical lattices, quantum memories, many-body systems.
