The 5th International Conference on Quantum Error Correction (QEC’19) will be taking place this summer atSenate House, London. It aims to bring together experts from academia and industry to discuss theoretical, experimental and technological research towards robust quantum computation. Topics will include control, error correction and fault tolerance, and their interface with physics, computer science and technology research.
The conference is open for registration with an early registration deadline of June 10th. We will continue to accept submissions for poster presentations until the early registration deadline: http://qec19.iopconfs.org/abstracts.
Participants should book their conference accommodation as soon as possible. London hotels do get fully booked, and hotel prices will rise sharply close to the conference. Please see https://qec19.iopconfs.org/accommodation for accommodation advice (including rooms in university student residences).
Please forward this email to colleagues who might be interested in attending QEC’19.
We are holding a one day symposium to celebrate Graeme Mitchison’s
scientific life and work, on April 13th.
It is open to all: if you plan to come please register via the link http://www.qi.damtp.cam.ac.uk/node/282
I am very pleased to announce that registration is now open for the 5th International Conference on Quantum Error Correction. QEC’19 will be taking place at Senate House, London from
The 16th International Conference on Quantum Physics and Logic
(QPL 2019) will take place at Chapman University June 10-14, 2019.
The conference brings together researchers working on mathematical
foundations of quantum physics, quantum computing, and related areas,
with a focus on structural perspectives and the use of logical tools,
ordered algebraic and category-theoretic structures, formal languages,
semantical methods, and other computer science techniques applied to
the study of physical behaviour in general. Work that applies
structures and methods inspired by quantum theory to other fields
(including computer science) is also welcome.

INVITED SPEAKERS
John Baez (UC Riverside)
Anna Pappa (University College London)
Joel Wallman (University of Waterloo)
INVITED TUTORIALS
Ana Belen Sainz (Perimeter Institute)
Quanlong Wang (University of Oxford)
SUBMISSIONS
Prospective speakers are invited to submit one (or more) of the
following:
– Original contributions consist of a 5-12 page extended abstract
that provides sufficient evidence of results of genuine interest
and enough detail to allow the program committee to assess the
merits of the work. Submission of substantial albeit partial
results of work in progress is encouraged.
– Extended abstracts describing work submitted/published elsewhere
will also be considered, provided the work is recent and relevant
to the conference. These consist of a 3 page description and should
include a link to a separate published paper or preprint.
The conference proceedings will be published in Electronic
Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS) after the
conference. Only “original contributions” are eligible to be
published in the proceedings.
Submissions should be prepared using LaTeX, and must be submitted in
PDF format. Use of the EPTCS style is encouraged. Submission is done
via EasyChair:
There will be an award for the best student paper at the discretion
of the programme committee. Papers eligible for the award are those
where all the authors are students at the time of submission.

Applications are invited from suitably qualified candidates for a full-time, fixed term position as a Research Assistant or Post-Doctorate Researcher with the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Applied Mathematics at the National University of Ireland, Galway. Closing date for receipt of applications is 5.00 pm, Monday 18th March 2019
The goal of this project is a theoretical investigation of Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) Computers (https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2018-08-06-79). The successful candidate will, depending on the strengths and preferences of the applicant, contribute to some, or all, of the duties below.
Duties:
· Developing theoretical techniques for simulation of quantum circuits using, for example, stabilizer-based simulators or tensor-network based simulators.
· Writing a high-performance software implementation (e.g. in Python) of simulation, compilation and/or optimization techniques.
· Designing and implementing/simulating error-correction, fault-tolerance and compilation schemes that incorporate information about real-world devices viz. connectivity and noise types/rates.
· Contribute to research outputs of the group (publications, software)
The quantum computing group at Argonne National Laboratory is looking for postdoctoral scholars and summer students to perform research in quantum computing.
