PostDoc

There are posdocs opportunities at the Quantum Information group of the Federal Fluminense University (http://infoptics.if.uff.br/doku.php?id=startpage), in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The positions are to work at the interface between condensed matter and quantum information theory, under joint supervision of Prof. Thiago de Oliveira (tro@if.uff.br) and Prof. Marcelo Sarandy (msarandy@if.uff.br).

Two Postdoctoral Positions in Quantum Computation

University of Southern California

Applications are now open for postdoctoral fellowships at Perimeter Institute (PI) to begin in Fall 2012. PI hosts the world’s largest group of independent postdoctoral fellows in foundational theoretical physics. At PI, Postdoctoral Fellows are encouraged to formulate and pursue their own chosen lines of research, across all fields of theoretical physics, within an exceptionally supportive environment. They enjoy ample opportunities to interact with senior scientists, host collaborators, organize workshops and conferences, and participate in the training of graduate students.

Two Postdoctoral Positions in Experimental Quantum Optics and Information
Laboratoire Kastler Brossel, Paris

Applications are invited for postdoctoral positions in experimental quantum optics and quantum information at Laboratoire Kastler Brossel (LKB), in Paris (France). LKB is jointly run by Université P. et M. Curie, Ecole Normale Supérieure and CNRS.

The position, for 2 years, is within the project QUITEMAD (Quantum Information Technologies Madrid) web site: http://www.quitemad.org/, funded through the Programas de Actividades de I+D de la Comunidad de Madrid, which involves 5 Quantum Information groups.

PhD-Positions and PostDoc-Positions available for: Photonic Quantum Computation and Quantum Simulation

== Responsibilities and duties ==

This position is part of an ERC project aimed at applying quantum information theory techniques to quantum field theory and is therefore limited to three years. The objective of the project is to develop new theoretical and numerical tools to study quantum field theory.

== Employment conditions ==

Two postdoc positions are advertised in the approximately 30 member quantum group, led by Samson Abramsky and Bob Coecke:
http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/activities/quantum/
The group has a has a multidisciplinary research activity including the areas of quantum foundations and quantum computation, category theory, computer science logic and AI including computational linguistics.

The Institute for Quantum Computing is inviting applications for postdoctoral positions in all aspects of quantum information processing, bridging areas from fundamental theory to physical implementations.
