PhD opportunity at the Quantum Technology group at Queen's (http://web.am.qub.ac.uk/wp/qo/)
A number of fully funded 3-year PhD studentships (DEL and EPSRC) are available at the Centre for Theoretical Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics (CTAMOP), Queen's University Belfast.
QTeQ has made available at least 3 projects to work on topics of quantum information processing under the supervision of Dr. G. De Chiara, Dr. A. Ferraro, and Dr. M. Paternostro.
Interested students are prompted to visit CTAMOP website
The candidate will join a highly entrepreneurial group advancing computation and communications technology by exploring quantum and optical phenomena. The candidate will lead and support experimental efforts in quantum and optical phenomena performing various measurement and applied physics/engineering tasks. Position responsibilities will include building and developing novel experiments to demonstrate advanced concepts in a system environment.

The study of thermalization has become an especially hot topic of research in the past several years, and there are multiple advanced workshops on the subject. However, these have been aimed at experts in the field. There is a clear need for an instructional program targeted at educating junior researchers across the disciplines including statistical mechanics, hard and soft condensed-matter physics, biophysics, nuclear physics, string theory, and quantum information theory.

Over the past few decades, philosophers of physics and others have made important contributions to the mathematical and conceptual foundations of physical theories by critically analyzing how the mathematical structures of such theories inform central philosophical concerns, and in some cases by proving new theorems of high philosophical interest. This conference aims to bring together physicists, mathematicians, and philosophers of physics working on such technical issues. The venue is April 4, 2013 at the Center for Philosophy of Science in Pittsburgh.
Submission deadline:

This conference will consider topics across the entire spectrum of foundational and philosophical approaches to physical theory. Whilst there will be a particular focus upon the analysis of specific physical theories (e.g. classical and quantum theories of spacetime, quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, statistical physics), also invited are submissions on methodological questions, experimental practices, and the study of philosophically interesting episodes from the history of physics.

This is the first announcement of the workshop on Relativistic Quantum Information that will take place on June 24-26 2013 at the University of Nottingham. This workshop is going to be the next in the annual series of RQI-North workshops. This years aim is to bring together researchers from a diverse range of backgrounds, including those working in the fields of the Unruh effect, the dynamical Casimir effect, analogue gravity, quantum information theory and foundational physics.
