Oxford Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Spin-Based Quantum Nanoscience
Grade 7 / Salary in the range: ?28,983 to ?30,747 pa / Job Ref No: DJ11/04
Deadline 25 February 2011
A postdoctoral position is available immediately for up to three years for experimental research in quantum control of spin states in condensed matter. These experiments will involve electron and nuclear magnetic resonance and related quantum control, including
pulsed magnetic resonance spectroscopy, possibly with optical excitation and/or electrical detection. The experiments will be under the direct supervision of Dr John Morton in the Quantum Spin Dynamics Group (http://qsd.materials.ox.ac.uk/), a team of
researchers based jointly in Oxford~Rs Materials and Physics Departments with an outstanding track record in high-impact research. This post is part of a larger highly multidisciplinary project led by Professor Andrew Briggs, entitled Quantum Nanoscience: Fundamental Physics, Emerging Structures, and Implications for Our Ultimate Reality.
Applicants for this post must have relevant expertise in experimental quantum control methods such as magnetic resonance, while experience in the preparation and characterisation of quantum nanomaterials or devices is also helpful. Examples of
relevant areas of expertise include solid state NMR, dynamic nuclear polarization, and stripline or coplanar microwave resonators. By the starting date applicants must have
completed a doctorate (or at least have submitted their thesis) in a relevant physical science. We shall be looking for an outstanding track record of research and publications, commensurate with the stage in career, and for evidence of a willingness
and ability to engage with others in deeper theoretical and philosophical questions.
This international project, with funding from John Templeton Foundation and the National University of Singapore, includes researchers in experimental quantum nanoscience, theory of quantum control, fundamentals of quantum information, and philosophy of
physics, and thus offers an excellent opportunity to enhance the interfaces between these wide-ranging discplines, and to exploit progress towards emerging quantum technologies to pursue the guiding big questions for the project as a whole.
PDF Further particulars, including instructions which must be read before applying for this post, are available from the web-site: http://www.materials.ox.ac.uk or from Mrs K Fewings, Department of Materials, University of Oxford, Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3PH (email: posts@materials.ox.ac.uk), or telephone 01865 273680 (post reference DJ11/04).

Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Carbon Nanomaterials for Quantum Spintronics
Grade 7 / Salary ?28,983 to ?34,607 pa / Job Ref: DJ11/03
A position for experimental research in the fabrication and characterization of carbon-based materials and devices is available immediately, until April 2013. The
primary materials will be single-walled carbon nanotubes filled with fullerene molecules containing spin-active species. The research will involve fabricating devices with
non-standard geometries, filling them with endohedral fullerenes, structural characterization by force and electron microscopy, and electrical characterization. The experimental work will be under the direct supervision of Dr Jamie Warner in collaboration with other departmental colleagues and other laboratories in Oxford and
elsewhere. This post is part of an EPSRC-funded international project in collaboration with Peking and Tsinghua Universities led by Professor Andrew Briggs, entitled Putting spin into carbon nanoelectronics. The overall aim of the project is to develop devices
which incorporate electron spin, and show how these can be used as components for quantum spintronics, exploiting the phenomena of quantum superposition and entanglement.
Eventual applications are expected to range from entanglement-enhanced sensors to components for solid state computers.
Applicants must have a doctorate in an appropriate physical science subject and expertise relevant to carbon-based materials and devices. They will need skills in one
or more areas of synthesis and characterization of carbon-based materials,
nanofabrication by electron beam lithography and focused ion beams, and high resolution transmission electron microscopy. A good publication record and excellent communication

University of York PhD project in quantum foundations: Structural Aspects of Qudit systems
Deadline 15 February 2011
This is a theoretical project that addresses foundational aspects of quantum
information processing
with a focus on structural features of qudit systems. While much effort has
been spent on investigating
quantum state spaces, relatively little is known about the structure of
quantum observables. The
mathematical duality of states and observables provides a guarantee that
whatever one learns about
one side is relevant for the other, so that it is to be expected that
studying structures of quantum
observables will provide a new angle and open up new questions.
The project includes:
– Determination of criteria for the joint measurability of qudit observables
– Study of the connection between approximate joint measurability and
approximate cloning
– Search for prototype models of joint measurements of noncommuting quantum
observables
– Implications for the quantum-classical contrast

Deadline March 1, 2011
The above research project, jointly led by the undersigned, has been
approved for funding by the Dutch Research Organization (NWO) in its
TOP-GO Programme. This project involves areas like category theory
(especially topos theory and tensor categories), quantum logic,
quantum computation, C*-algebras, and compositional reasoning. It has,
very roughly, been split into three subprojects on modularity in
quantum computation, the construction of toposes with a nontrivial
tensor structure, and the development of the internal logic of ‘tensor
toposes’.
Candidates with a (prospective) M.Sc degree in mathematics, computer
science, or theoretical physics (the latter two with a strong
mathematical component), or an equivalent thereof (such as the
Cambridge Part III Certificate, etc.), preferably those already
familiar with one or more of the areas just mentioned (and interested
in the others), are encouraged to apply to one or more of us. Please
include a CV, a list of courses and grades at the master's level, a
(draft) M.Sc thesis if available, and the names and email addresses of
at least two scientific referees.
A suitable starting date would be September 1, 2011, but this is
flexible. The appointment will be for 4 years, of which the first year
is a trial period. Such PhD trajectories in the Netherlands are paid
positions: the gross salary for PhD students in the Netherlands is
currently 2042, 2379, 2492, 2612 euro per month in year 1, 2, 3, 4,
respectively, from which 42% tax and insurance costs will be deducted.
There will be a teaching duty of approximately 0,2 fte, typically
spent supervising exercise classes and correcting students' homework.
We are looking forward to hearing from you before March 1, 2011.
Females are especially encouraged to apply.

PhD/postdoc positions in quantum information and the foundations of
quantum theory.
These positions are supported by research networks involving leading
physics and computer science groups in Europe. The first aim of this
project is to explore the possibility of device-independent quantum
information processing. Device-independence represents a new paradigm
for quantum information processing, where the goal is to design
protocols to solve information and cryptographic tasks without relying
on any assumption about the devices used in the protocol. Contrary to
standard quantum information protocols, which are based on
entanglement, the main resource for device-independent quantum
information processing is quantum non-locality. See, e.g.
http://www.sciencemag.org/content/331/6023/1380.full
for a recent popular account of device-independent quantum
cryptography and non-locality.
These positions are also partially supported by a large grant from the
Foundational Questions Institute, project title "Quantum theory and
the nature of time". The aim is to investigate the connections between
the mathematical formalism of quantum theory and facts about time,
such as reversibility and irreversibility of physical laws. For more
details, including an introduction and technical abstract, see here:
http://www.fqxi.org/grants/large/awardees/view/__detail
s/2010/pironio
The expectation is that the successful applicant will work part time
on both projects. In the case of a postdoc position, it should also be
possible to work part time on other theoretical topics in quantum
information science.
Prospective applicants with a strong background in mathematics or
theoretical physics, and a deep interest in quantum information
theory, the foundations of quantum theory, or both, are encouraged to
apply.

Hey Physics Buffs,
I'm an aspiring researcher looking for people who are interested in collaborating on the topic of time optimal quantum control. It is a fairly new area, and as such there aren't really any established results in terms of experiments.
My e-b00k is located at http://quantumcontrol.wikidot.com/start for anyone who is interested in matrix differential equations a la Heisenberg (most people just run!).
Hopefully there is someone out there who has enough of a maths brain to be able to handle it. Any further questions/job offers/vacancies etc etc just feel free to reach me through the email address at the above link.
After all, if a quantum computer isn't time optimal, what is it? SLOW AND INEFFICIENT!!1!!

ROYAL HOLLOWAY, University of London
Post-doctoral Research Assistant, Department of Mathematics
Salary for the post is £32,106 per annum inclusive of London Allowance.
The Department of Mathematics is seeking to recruit a post-doctoral research assistant to work with Dr Jonathan Barrett in the areas of Quantum Information Theory, and Foundations of Quantum Theory. The position is available from the 1st September 2011 and will run for two years.
The position is funded by the ERA-Net CHIST-ERA project Device-independent quantum information processing, and by the FQXI project Time and the structure of quantum theory.
The research assistant will work alongside Dr Barrett on both projects simultaneously. The first will investigate the theory of quantum information processing using unknown or untrustworthy devices. The aim is to develop protocols for quantum cryptography, randomness generation, and other tasks, and to investigate the fundamental resource of quantum nonlocality. The second project will develop a better understanding of the role time plays in the formalism of quantum theory, and whether physical principles involving time can help to characterize the kinds of information processing that are physically possible.

Post-doctoral Research Assistant, Department of Mathematics
Salary for the post is £32,106 per annum inclusive of London Allowance.
The Department of Mathematics is seeking to recruit a post-doctoral research assistant to work with Dr Jonathan Barrett in the areas of Quantum Information Theory, and Foundations of Quantum Theory. The position is available from the 1st September 2011 and will run for two years.
The position is funded by the ERA-Net CHIST-ERA project Device-independent quantum information processing, and by the FQXI project Time and the structure of quantum theory.
The research assistant will work alongside Dr Barrett on both projects simultaneously. The first will investigate the theory of quantum information processing using unknown or untrustworthy devices. The aim is to develop protocols for quantum cryptography, randomness generation, and other tasks, and to investigate the fundamental resource of quantum nonlocality. The second project will develop a better understanding of the role time plays in the formalism of quantum theory, and whether physical principles involving time can help to characterize the kinds of information processing that are physically possible.
