Quantum Mechanics is the nightmare of science communicators. The apparent obscurity of its rules and the unintuitive nature of many of its results often lead to articles where the words “spooky”, “multiverse” or “conscience” substitute for simpler, less mystical explanations that emphasize the utilitarian aspects of this theory. Antonio Acín, leader of a big research…
There is an opening for a two-year postdoctoral position in quantum information theory. The successful candidate will work in the interface of quantum nonlocality and the axiomatization of quantum mechanics with Profs. Miguel Navascués at Bilkent University (Ankara, Turkey) and Antonio Acín at the Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO) (Barcelona, Spain). Ideally, a year should…
Os informamos de la existencia de una beca predoctoral para realizar la tesis en el Departamento de Análisis Matemático de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid. La beca está asociada al Proyecto MTM2014-54240-P titulado “Las Matemáticas del Entrelazamiento Cuántico”.
