The researchers will be employed by the Centre for Quantum  Technologies (CQT) in Singapore, but will spend up to 10 months each  year working in the University of Oxford. The appointments are for 3  years, and form part of a larger initiative on quantum nanoscience. The  annual salary is up to $86,000 Singapore dollars (approx. $63,800) plus  housing benefits. Each individual will be supervised by two of the  following researchers: Simon Benjamin, Bob Coecke, Dieter Jaksch, Vlatko  Vedral. The posts are available immediately and will be advertised  until they are filled. It is hoped that the appointees will be in post  on or before the 4th Jan 2011. \u00a0For more information including further  particulars and selection criteria please email Irene Tan &lt;irene.tan [atatat] nus.edu.sg&gt;.<br \/>\nFurther particulars:<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.quantumlah.org\/openings\/QuantumNanoscienceFurtherParticulars.pdf<br \/>\nSelection criteria:<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.quantumlah.org\/openings\/QuantumNanoscienceSelectionCriteria.pdf<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Are you good at quantum information theory?\u00a0 BBN:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Title:<\/strong> Quantum Optical Information Theorist<br \/>\n<strong>Department:<\/strong> Disruptive Information Processing Technologies<br \/>\n<strong>Location:<\/strong> Cambridge\u00a0MA<br \/>Raytheon BBN Technologies&#8217; Disruptive Information Processing  Technologies Business Unit, located in Cambridge, MA, is seeking a  qualified theorist with a strong background in quantum optics and  information theory. The ideal candidate should have a good working  knowledge of Fourier optics, optical imaging, stochastic processes,  estimation theory, digital communications and coding theory, and be  familiar with quantum measurement theory. The candidate will join a  highly entrepreneurial group of researchers advancing optical  communications and imaging technologies by pursuing an in-depth study of  the fundamental limits on the information carrying capacity of light  waves. The candidate will work with experts in quantum information  theory in leading efforts in developing a deep understanding of  designing quantum-limited optical communications and imaging systems,  and will also provide strong theory support to diverse new and existing  efforts on quantum, atomic, superconducting and optical phenomena.  Position responsibilities will include building and developing novel  information theoretical understanding of quantum optical systems, as  well as working closely with experimentalists to perform modeling and  simulation of advanced concepts in a system environment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And Howard sends a note for a conference in Florida in April with an abstract due date of Oct. 2010:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I encourage you and your students and\/or associates to participate in the conference QUANTUM INFORMATION AND COMPUTATION IX (DS216) to be held during the SPIE International Symposium on Defense, Security and Sensing, 25-29 April 2011 in Orlando, Florida, USA.<br \/>\nPlease see the website: http:\/\/spie.org\/ds216<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Singapore\/Oxford quantum nanoscience postdoc: ADVERT: Two postdocs in Quantum Nanoscience Theory: Fundamental physics and high-level structures.
