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

Dear all
Please be informed about the 21. Young Atom Opticians Conference.
With best regards,
Ilona Blatter
-----------
Dear collegues,
we would like to draw your attention to the 21. Young Atom Opticians (YAO) Conference, which is taking place in spring 2015 at the physics department ETH Zurich. The YAO conference is renowned to be a great meeting ground for young researchers in both experimental and theoretical quantum optics, quantum computation and atomics physics and an excellent platform to present their work. It is specifically aimed at graduate students in the starting phase of their work. The goal is to provide insight into the various research areas of modern quantum optics and at the same time enable the exchange of participants in a relaxed and untamed atmosphere.
The YAO 2015 conference will take place from Sunday, 19th to Friday, 24th of April 2015.
The registration for the conference is open, for more information please visit our website (www.yao2015.ethz.ch).
We are looking forward to seeing you at YAO 2015!
Best regards,
The YAO 2015 organizers
Lorenz Hruby, Dominik Husmann, Martin Lebrat, Julian Leonard, Michael Messer, Andrea Morales
