Gilad Gour and I are
looking for outstanding candidates for graduate positions (MSc
and PhD level) in our newly formed quantum information group
(after my recent faculty appointment) at the Department of
Mathematics & Statistics at the University of Calgary,
Canada. Our group works within the Institute for Quantum
Science and Technologies (directed by Barry Sanders), which is
one of the top institutes for quantum information in Canada.
Our
research interests are in theoretical aspects of quantum
information, the quantification of quantum resources (such as
entanglement), quantum thermodynamics, quantum foundations and
general probabilistic theories.
Graduate
positions are normally funded through teaching assistantship;
however, more competitive scholarships are also available.
Applications for math programs are preferred, however we can
also offer supervision for other programs. More information

MSc and math
PhD. The deadline for applications is on 15 January
2021.
The University of Calgary is Canada's leading next-generation
university: a living, growing and youthful institution that
embraces change and opportunity with a can-do attitude.
Located in the nation's most enterprising city, the university
is making tremendous progress on its Eyes High journey to be
recognized as one of Canada's top five research universities,
grounded in innovative learning and teaching and fully
integrated with the community it both serves and leads. The
University of Calgary inspires and supports discovery,
creativity and innovation across all disciplines.
Finally,
a few words on the city: Calgary has been on the top list of
the most livable cities in the world for years, and it is the
most livable city in North America. It boasts more days of
sunshine per year than any other major Canadian city. Calgary
is also less than an hour's drive from the majestic Rocky
Mountains!
