New “Articles” section
In a modest effort to popularize the research done in this network, as well as to make the members of the network better known to the general public, we are opening a modest section called “Articles”. This section is devoted to outreach texts, including descriptions of research topics, brief press releases of key results, and…
Interview: Antonio Acín (ICFO)
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…
Postdoc position Ankara – ICFO
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…

PhD position, Quantum Atom Optics group, UAB
The Quantum Atom Optics group at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona announces the opening of a 4 years PhD position associated to the research project FIS2014-57460-P: “Quantum transport in ring potentials: from single atoms to interacting degenerate gases” founded by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (MINECO). The PhD position call is open from…
Two PhD positions, Univ. Autonoma de Madrid
The group working in the area of quantum optics in nanostructures at the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid is looking for two graduate students for doing a PhD. The selected candidates will be supported by 2 FPI 4-years contracts associated to the MINECO’s project “Quantum Optics in Nanostructured Semiconductors”. There are possibilities for performing either an…
