New methods of understanding complexity and algorithm design rely heavily on abstract methods whose connection with underlying physical systems remain, in many cases, woefully under-illustrated. This workshop brings together physicists, computer scientists, and mathematicians to explore the connection between quantum information science, quantum complexity, and potential physical implementations.
POSITION: POSTOCTORAL RESEARCHER.- A fully funded Postdoc Contract in Quantum Information and Strongly Correlated Systems is available to work under the supervision of Prof. Miguel A. Martin-Delgado at the Departamento de Fisica Teorica I, Facultad de Ciencias Fisicas, Universidad Complutense (Madrid, Spain). It covers a period of 2 years. The Contract is funded by the Research Grant QUITEMAD of Comunidad Autónoma de Madrid (CAM)
The aim of this workshop is to bring together experimentalists and theoreticians in a relaxed environment, with short talks and plenty of room for discussion. The range of topics is wide and interdisciplinary, covering the study and control of quantum mechanical systems -- neutral atoms, trapped ions, molecules, circuits, nanoresonators, practical and theoretical means of simulation, measurement and characterization techniques, and of course, a representation of Condensed Matter, Quantum Chemistry and Quantum Field Theory problems worth implementing in such a device.

The tiny device contains an array of 21 coupled optical waveguides and could provide greater insight into quantum interference. Further in the future, the technology could find use in quantum computers.''</p>

A new photonic chip that works on light rather than electricity has been built by an international research team, paving the way for the production of ultra-fast quantum computers with capabilities far beyond today’s devices. Future quantum computers will, for example, be able to pull important information out of the biggest databases almost instantaneously. As the amount of electronic data stored worldwide grows exponentially, the technology will make it easier for people to search with precision for what they want.
One PhD studentship is available at Imperial College London for the theoretical investigation of quantum effects in surface plasmon polaritons / metamaterials. This theoretical investigation is supervised by Professor Myungshik Kim and Professor Stefan Maier. The studentship includes European/UK student fees and full stipend with London weighting during the PhD period.
The studentship is available now until it is filled. If the candidate prefers, they can join the Doctoral Training Programme for Controlled Quantum Dynamics at Imperial College.
We are currently offering a PhD position for motivated people interested in studying experimental quantum optics and quantum communication. The position is in the Group of Applied Physics, led by Profs Nicolas Gisin and Hugo Zbinden, at the <a href="http://www.gapoptic.unige.ch">University of Geneva</a>. The successful candidate can start immediately.
Sami Mitra at APS Physics writes: ''Whether quantum dots will prove to be reliable building blocks for a quantum computer will depend on how well we measure and control their charge and spin.
