The goal of the project is to design a practical quantum simulator involving models of quantum computation beyond the circuit model that are more amendable to currently available technologies. We are looking for candidates who have strong background in chemistry, physics, computer science and/or quantum information theory.
The position is available immediately. Interested candidates are invited to submit an electronic application including a summary of research interests, CV, publications list, and the electronic (email) contact details of three referees.
All applications should be uploaded directly to the following URL
http://aspuru.unix.fas.harvard.edu/About/Postdoctoral_positions/
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 December 11, 2009, although later applications will be accepted until the positions are filled.
Both positions will begin in Fall 2010, and will be up to two years. During their tenure, Junior Fellows will be integrated as members of the QIP Program and will also participate in CIFAR's elite Junior Fellow Academy, interacting with peers in the Institute's eleven other programs. The Academy's purpose is to develop a community of broad thinking young scholars who are open to interdisciplinary collaboration, outstanding in their quality of research, and poised for future leadership roles.
Interested candidates should apply on-line at http://www.iqc.ca/positions/postdoc-cifar/application.php?t=1. The application should include a CV (including list of publications), a research statement, and names of up to 3 potential supervisors. Eligible supervisors must be members of the CIFAR QIP program and should normally be located in Canada, although other arrangements will be considered in exceptional cases. Applicants should also provide names and e-mail addresses of 3-4 referees (at least 3 must not be CIFAR program members). To receive full consideration, applications must be received by Friday, December 4th, 2009, although later applications will be accepted until the positions are filled.
For more information, including a list of eligible supervisors, go to http://www.cifar.ca/QIPJuniorFellowAd.
Please apply on-line at http://www.iqi.caltech.edu/postdoc_opening.html. Electronic copies of your curriculum vitae, publication list, statement of research interests, and three letters of recommendation are required. The deadline for receipt of all application materials is December 1, 2009.
The California Institute of Technology is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer. Women, Minorities, Veterans and Disabled Persons are encouraged to apply.
Applications will be reviewed until the position is filled.
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research associate position at Aberystwyth University. The successful candidate will work on an EPSRC funded project on theoretic methods applied to quantum control, and will work with the Quantum Open Systems and Control research group at Aberystwyth.
The applicant should hold a PhD in Mathematics (or a related subject) at the start of the appointment, and should be able to demonstrate a strong research record (or the potential to develop a strong record for early career applicants). Ideally we are looking for a postdoctoral researcher with a background in operator theory, or quantum stochastic processes and quantum control.
The post is funded by an EPSRC grant to Aberystwyth University, and the successful candidate will be expected to contribute to the activities related to this grant.
Informal enquiries may be addressed to Dr Rolf Gohm, email: rog@aber.ac.uk or Tel: (01970) 622751. The anticipated starting date is 1st September 2009, or as soon as possible thereafter. The post is a fixed-term contract for 36 months.

Coherent-state quantum computing is a relative new approach to optical QC. The logical basis states are coherent states (multi-photon states that exhibit classical optical coherence) that can be created deterministically from well-stabilised lasers. Such states are non-orthogonal, but can serve as qubits under appropriate conditions.
Coherent-state quantum computing experiments will require quantum optics outside the realm of coincident measurement techniques and involve real-time quantum control, thus providing new techniques of direct relevance to other optical quantum computation schemes. Successful completion of this project will contribute to the development of an alterative optical quantum computation scheme that may be more amenable to scale-up that other schemes.
The Canberra campus of the University of New South Wales is located at the Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA). ADFA is located in an Australian bushland setting less than five kilometres from the city centre and the Canberra airport.
The UNSW@ADFA campus has a large and comprehensive library, state-of-the-art computing facilities, well-equipped and modern laboratories and a concessions area which includes a hair salon, a University Cooperative Bookshop, financial institutions, a 24-hr ATM and the ADFA Cafe. A modern gymnasium and sporting facilities are available to staff. A Muslim prayer room is also available on campus.
Canberra is a modern city just under 100 years old, chosen as Australia's national capital in 1908 as a diplomatic solution when both Melbourne and Sydney wanted the role. Its name comes from the local Aboriginal word "Kamberra" meaning "meeting place". As Australia's capital city, Canberra is the focal point for activities and events that affect and influence the nation. It is the home of Federal Government and the public service, a focus for business and industry, home to the international diplomatic community, a place of study or just a great place to live.
For more information on the details of the project, contact Elanor
Huntington at e.huntington@adfa.edu.au.
Information on how to apply for
admission, fees, scholarships and living in Canberra can be found at:
http://www.unsw.adfa.edu.au/student/future/research.html
Applicants should send a CV with the contact details of 2 potential referees to Elanor Huntington e.huntington@adfa.edu.au. For informal enquiries please email the same address. Screening will commence on 15 September 2009 and continue until the position is filled.
