Hello All,



Please pass the advertisement below on to anyone you think might be
interested in one of these positions.  Apologies to anyone who receives this
notice more than once.



Best wishes,

*Two Postdoctoral Positions in Quantum Computation*

* *

*University of Southern California*



There are two postdoctoral positions available in quantum computation at the
University of Southern California in the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical
Engineering.  The first is intended to work on quantum circuit synthesis and
the development of computer aided design (CAD) flows and tools and related
software.  The second will be in quantum error correction and/or quantum
control.  The successful applicant should have a Ph.D. in engineering,
physics, computer science, or other related discipline, and have a solid
background in this research area. In addition, applicant interested in the
quantum CAD postdoc position must have expertise and a track record in CAD
and software development.



These two postdocs will be part of a multi-university team conducting basic
and applied research on improving the theoretical and practical bounds on
the performance of fault-tolerant quantum computation, funded by IARPA.
These postdocs will travel from time to time to work with various members of
the team, and will also participate in periodic team meetings. They are also
expected to help with the preparation of monthly status reports and meeting
the project milestones (software deliverables, technical reports,
presentations, and so on.)  The postdocs will also be affiliated with the
Center for Quantum Information Science & Technology at the University of
Southern California.



To apply, send a CV, a brief statement of research interests and experience,
and a list of three references with contact information, to Annie Yu,
University of Southern California, EEB-300, 3740 McClintock Ave, Los Angeles
CA 90089 (annhuayu at usc.edu).  These positions are available *immediately*.
We will consider applications until both positions are filled.



For more information about the positions, applicants may contact Massoud
Pedram (pedram at usc.edu), Todd Brun (tbrun at usc.edu) or Daniel Lidar (
lidar at usc.edu).
