Quantum Information Science Announcements

Postdoctoral Research Fellow/Research Fellow in Quantum Error Correction for Optical

Center for Macroscopic Quantum Control, Department of Physics and Astronomy

The Center for Macroscopic Quantum Control (http://cmqc.snu.ac.kr) at Seoul NationalUniversity invites applications for a postdoctoral research fellow or research fellow position. The successful applicant will initially perform theoretical research on quantum error correction and fault tolerance assessment with various types of all-optical quantum computing schemes and related topics, and will also be encouraged to develop new research projects. An ideal candidate would possess a strong background in quantum computation, error correction codes and their optical implementations.

The initial appointment will be for one year and renewable up to three years. The deadline is 15 November 2014, but late applications will be considered until the position is filled. Short-listed candidates will be contacted by us within November or within 3 weeks from their application dates. The position will be immediately available once the offer is made while the starting date is negotiable.

Salary is commensurate with qualifications and experience. Health and safety insurance and severance pay will be supported according to university regulations and employment laws. Full financial support for two international conferences every year and a new laptop (or a desktop PC up to the candidate’s preference) will be provided during the employment period.

Interested candidates should email a CV including a list of publications and contact details of at least two referees, together with a brief statement of their research experience and interest to: .

The Quantum Science and Technologies Group in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Louisiana State University invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher position. The position is open to those having an active interest and track record of publication in theoretical aspects of quantum information science, such as quantum information theory, quantum error correction, quantum computational complexity theory, or quantum optical communication. The candidate’s expertise would ideally add to and complement the existing expertise of the group, whose faculty members include Mark M. Wilde, Hwang Lee, and Jonathan P. Dowling. The position will ideally begin in August 2014 or sometime later

Responsibilities: Research in quantum information science that includes but not limited to the following: research development on quantum information theory, quantum error correction, quantum computational complexity theory, or quantum optical communication; writing scientific papers, presenting talks at scientific meetings, participating in other local, state, national and international developments in quantum information science; supervise and mentor undergraduate and graduate students; writing of grant proposals for external support.

Required Qualifications: Ph.D. in Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related field.

Special Requirements: Some national and international travel may be required.

Salary is commensurate with qualifications and experience. An offer of employment is contingent on a satisfactory pre-employment background check.

A postdoctoral position in quantum information theory is available in the group of Professor David Poulin in the Department of Physics at the University of Sherbrooke. The research focus is on fault-tolerant quantum computation, with a special emphasis on critical noise parameters that affect the failure probability of fault-tolerant protocols.

The project is funded by the US Army Research Office. The contract is for one year, with annual renewals possible for up to 3 years.

The candidate must have a Ph.D. in Physics or a related field and will preferably have experience with the above research subjects.

The successful candidate will collaborate with scientists at Raytheon BBN Technologies (Boston, MA), at Sandia National Lab (Albuquerque, NM) and at the University of Oregon (Eugene, OR), and is expected to travel to those institutions occasionally.

The physics of quantum information team at the Université de Sherbrooke is composed of four faculty members, Alexandre Blais, Michel Pioro-Ladrière, David Poulin, and Bertrand Reulet whose research interests cover both theoretical and experimental aspects of quantum information science and mesoscopic physics. We offer an active and stimulating research environment, enhanced by strong local and international collaborations. More information can be found at http://epiq.physique.usherbrooke.ca. Interested candidates should provide a CV including a list of publications, a brief statement of research interests and should arrange for at least two letters of recommendations to be sent to: qip[dot]postdocs[at]usherbrooke[dot]ca. Applications and letters should be received by August 30th 2014, although later applications will be accepted until the positions are filled. The start dates are flexible. The successful candidates will be contacted for an interview.
