Title: Fault-tolerant quantum computation with constant overhead
Our activities in quantum information concentrate on the implementation of simple quantum algorithms and the development of techniques for reducing decoherence and errors. Our experimental setups include magnetic resonance and high-resolution laser systems.
Postdoctoral position (under funding from the Irish Research Council) in quantum random walks and/or quantum game theory
and/or other areas of mutual interest in quantum information science.

Title: Quantum annealing on 503 qubits
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in the group of Andris Ambainis at the Faculty of Computing, University of Latvia. Our research group is interested in the following research topics:
- quantum algorithms and complexity theory;
- quantum communication, quantum information theory and cryptography;
- connections between quantum computing and classical computer science (using ideas from quantum information to solve classical problems);
- using ideas from quantum information to study physical systems.

1. RESEARCH ASSOCIATE:
Qualification - Candidate should have Ph.D degree in Physics (or, should have submitted the thesis), preferably in theory. Fellowship: Rs.24,000+HRA (as per DST norms) per month. Age: Maximum 35 years as on last date of application.
This program will deal with quantum cryptography, quantum computing and quantum repeaters. The goal of this event is to introduce this exciting topic in a relaxed and stimulating atmosphere to a general audience of physicists and computer scientists with little or no background in practical quantum communications. Special emphasis will be placed on practical aspects of quantum communications, such as the implementation of Quantum Key distribution systems and quantum repeaters, as well as concrete steps towards a quantum computer.
This is our "Nobel Prize" lecture. Dietrich is a long time colleague of David Wineland at NIST and will tell us about the latest research from the Ion Storage Group.

Speaker: Dietrich Leibfried (NIST)
Title: Towards scalable quantum information processing and quantum simulation with trapped ions
Following on from the success of the previous two events, the aim of this colloquium is to showcase recent research in quantum algorithms. We have five excellent speakers:
Andrew Childs
Maarten van den Nest
Ben Reichardt
Jérémie Roland
Pawel Wocjan
There is no conference fee and we are able to offer travel support to UK PhD students who do not have funding from their home institutions.
