Dear all
Please be informed about the
Third International Conference on Quantum Error Correction.
With best regards,
Ilona Blatter
---------------------------------------------------
QEC 2014, 15th-19th December, HIT building, ETH Hönggerberg
Quantum error correction of decoherence and faulty control operations forms the backbone of all of quantum information processing. Despite remarkable progress on this front since the discovery of quantum error correcting codes more than a decade ago, important open problems in both theory and applications to real physical systems remain.
The Third International Conference on Quantum Error Correction, hosted by ETH Zurich, will bring together a wide group of experts to discuss all aspects of decoherence control and fault tolerance. Thought the subject is still mostly theoretical in nature, the conference will include talks surveying the latest experimental progress, and will seek to promote an interaction between theoreticians and experimentalists.
See http://www.qec14.ethz.ch for more information. All QSIT members are welcomed to attend the talks.

Subject: Postdocs in the theory of quantum computation
Date: Mon, 8 Dec 2014 12:57:26 +0000
From: Ashley Montanaro <ashley(a)compsci.bristol.ac.uk>
To: quantum(a)compsci.bristol.ac.uk, quant-info-group(a)sympa.bristol.ac.uk
Dear all,
An advert has now gone up for two postdoc positions to work on the theory of quantum computation:
http://www.bristol.ac.uk/jobs/find/details.html?nPostingID=2700&nPostingTar…
If you know anyone who might be interested, please feel free to pass the details on to them. The application deadline is 25 January and the advert is below.
best wishes,
Ashley.
Two postdoctoral Research Assistant / Research Associate positions are available in the Quantum Computation and Quantum Information research group at the University of Bristol. These positions are associated with a recently funded £1M EPSRC Fellowship "New insights in quantum algorithms and complexity".
Based in the Computer Science department, you will carry out research in the theory of quantum computation and related areas. Specific areas of focus for the project to which you could contribute, depending on your interests, include the development of quantum algorithms and quantum lower bounds, with a particular focus on property testing; applications of quantum complexity theory and quantum information theory to physics, with a particular focus on Hamiltonian complexity; and the development of mathematical tools within quantum computation. However, you will be expected to have a high degree of autonomy within the broad overall framework of the project.
You will either have a background in the theory of quantum computation and/or quantum information, or a background in classical theoretical computer science or quantum physics with an interest in quantum computing. In this second category we particularly welcome applications from theoretical computer scientists with expertise in property testing and related areas, and theoretical physicists with expertise in many-body quantum physics. You will be able to demonstrate an interest in aspects of the field of quantum computing relating to computer science. The ideal candidate would have a strong track record of publications in international-quality venues. Examples include PRL/PRA/CMP in physics, or STOC/FOCS/ICALP in computer science. In addition, you will have excellent written and spoken communication skills including the ability to explain and share deep concepts.
You will hold a PhD in a relevant area, or expect to be awarded one soon.
Each post is offered on a full time, fixed term contract for 2 years in the first instance.
For informal enquiries, please contact Dr Ashley Montanaro: ashley(a)compsci.bristol.ac.uk
