These positions are advertised across specialisations, and include the following possible research topics:
The Schmid College of Science and Technology at Chapman University is advertising teaching/research postdoctoral fellowships (see the advert below). The teaching portion is in our new Grand Challenges Initiative. The research component can be in any group within Schmid College, which includes the Institute for Quantum Studies. The institute is lef by Yakir Aharonov and Jeff Tollaksen, and includes faculty members Matt Leifer and Justin Dressel.
Quantum information theory is at the intersection of physics, computer science and mathematics. While its potential is still in the way of being developed, what we already know suggests that it may have a dramatic impact on everyday technologies. Given the completely new logic underlying a quantum computer, new mathematical and computer science tools are required to optimize its architecture and then fully exploit its computational potential.
Applications are invited for a Government of Ireland Postdoctoral Fellowship in Quantum Computation (Theory) at the National University of Ireland, Galway.
In the first instance, please contact soon Dr. M. Mc Gettrick [michael.mcgettrick@nuigalway.ie] for initial discussions on the research programme.
