Two postdoctoral positions at UCL

Two postdocs in quantum information from 1st Oct, 2007:
Two postdoctoral positions are available in theoretical Quantum Information at University College London (UCL) from 1st October 2007 or immediately thereafter, to work in collaboration with Professor Sougato Bose (for link to the group see: http://www.tampa.phys.ucl.ac.uk/quinfo/).
The first position, extendable to up to 3 years subject to performance, is for working on spin chains as networking elements for quantum computers, on various theoretical schemes for entanglement generation in quantum optics and on schemes for investigating the macroscopic limits of quantum mechanics. As a result, it is desirable that the candidate has an expertise in one or more of the topics of entanglement, exactly solvable many-body systems, DMRG and other numerical simulations (MATLAB experience preferred), decoherence models and quantum optics.
The second position, for 1.5 years (if starting from 1st October 2007), is more oriented towards the theory for physical implementations of spin chain based quantum information schemes in solid state or other systems. For this position, it is desirable to have both a strong numerical simulation experience, as well as some experience of solid state physics. It will also involve speaking with experimentalists.
For both the positions, there will be a dedicated student to aid in the postdoc's work and the postdoc will be expected to co-supervise the work of this student. Additionally, for the second position, collaborations with various QIPIRC groups in the UK, particularly experimentalists, are expected.
Please send your CV as early as possible with complete list of publications to sougato.bose@gmail.com. The deadline is 15th of July, 2007, however, applications will be reviewed till a selection of candidates are made. In most cases, a telephone interview will be conducted first (or a direct meeting when possible) followed by the requirement of two email references from referees. Decisions are expected to be finalized by the end of July.
