We offer two PhD/Post-Doc positions, available immediately, at the newly created Center for Optical Quantum Technologies (ZOQ). In a vibrant, communicative environment, we study a wide range of quantum phenomena, from technological aspects of ultra-cold atom systems to fundamental questions of many-body theory. We use both analytical approaches, e.g. field-theoretic descriptions, as well as numerical methods, such as simulations.

Doctoral Fellowships in the
"Vienna Doctoral Program on Complex Quantum Systems"
The “Vienna Doctoral Program on Complex Quantum Systems (CoQuS)" is a graduate program funded by the FWF, and jointly hosted and supported by the University of Vienna and the Vienna University of Technology, Austria.

The CoQuS Program announces new openings for highly qualified doctoral/graduate students in experimental and theoretical quantum physics, with a strong emphasis on
• Fundamental tests of physics
• Quantum information concepts and implementations
• Matter wave interferometry: foundatio

The positions are within a CQT research project led by Dimitris G. Angelakis. We are looking for highly motivated candidates who have a strong research background mainly in theoretical quantum optics. Exceptional candidates from condensed matter theory and/or quantum information theory will also be considered.

Applications are invited for a fully funded PhD research fellowship in theoretical physics in the Quantum Light and Matter Group, at the University of Southampton.

The position starts November 2012 and it will deal with investigations of light-matter interaction in confined geometries. Three thematics that will be susceptible to be object of investigation will be:

THz lasing from symmetry breaking: arXiv:1204.4053
Ultrastrong light-matter coupling: arXiv:1209.5273, arXiv:1111.2486
Quantum optomechanics: arXiv:1011.6295

A postdoctoral position is available in the group of Prof. Alexander Korotkov at the University of California, Riverside. The research projects involve theory of quantum measurement, quantum feedback, and quantum computing with superconducting qubits. Applicants are expected to have previous experience at least in one of the following theoretical areas: quantum computing, quantum measurement, quantum trajectories, Josephson junction devices.

Date/time: Tuesday 23rd October 2pm BST
Speaker: Markus Mueller (Perimeter Institute)
Title: Three-dimensionality of space and the quantum bit: an information-theoretic approach

The University of Nottingham has opened the 2013 calls for Anne McLaren Fellowships (for outstanding female applicants with up to 4 years postdoctoral experience in scientific disciplines) and Nottingham Research Fellowships (for outstanding candidates with up to 6 years postdoctoral experience in all disciplines).

Currently, there is a postdoc opening in the Optical Quantum Communication Theory Group at the Institute for Quantum Computing, University of Waterloo. The research is centered around efficient use of quantum repeater architectures to distribute secret key over significant distances. We are looking for candidates who approach that problem with security and key rate in mind.

A brief introduction and demonstration of Cambridge Instruments' QuantumWave 4083 PXI RF Synthesizer. This module was designed specifically for use by the Ion Trap Quantum Computing research community, but is suitable for many other RF or microwave applications.
