Open Post-Doc Position in Logics for Quantum Interaction
Deadline: June 6, 2012

The Institute for Logic, Language and Computation currently has a 2.5 year Post-Doc position available in Dr Sonja Smets' Vidi project on 'Reasoning about quantum interaction: Logical modelling and verification of multi-agent quantum protocols'.

VIDI Project: ‘Reasoning about quantum interaction: Logical modelling and verification of multi-agent quantum protocols’:

As for classical computing, logic is expected to play an essential role in the understanding of quantum computation and quantum information, and especially in the formal verification of quantum communication protocols. Such multi-agent applications involve quantum information flow and classical knowledge transfer (by classical communication) between the agents. So one of our aims in the Vidi research project is to develop the logical tools for modelling complex situations where different types of informational dynamics (classical and quantum) are combined. Our goal is to develop and use a combined classical-quantum logic for the full specification and formal verification of agent-based quantum protocols for secure communication. Towards this goal, we propose to use formalisms based on modal logic, especially combinations of dynamic (or temporal) logics and epistemic (or “spatial") logics. But other logical formalisms, such as probabilistic logic, linear logic and coalgebraic logic (or categorical logic, in general), are also useful in this context.

Tasks:
The task of the post-doctoral researcher is to join the Vidi team working on the development of the above mentioned logical tools for 1) the verification of quantum protocols where probabilities play an essential role (such as in Quantum Key Distribution) and 2) the study of the (classical and quantum) information flow in protocols dealing with the anonymity of an agent’s identity such as in the Quantum Dining Cryptographers and Quantum Electronic Voting.

Requirements:
We are looking for candidates with a strong interest in Quantum Information Theory and Logic (especially in any of the areas such as Modal Logic, Epistemic Logic, Dynamic Logic, Linear Logic, Categorical Logic or Quantum Logic).

Candidates should have (or obtain before 1st June 2012) a PhD degree in any area connected to Logic, Physics, Computer Science, Philosophy or Mathematics. Fluent English is a prerequisite.

University of Kent: Doctoral Studentship in Philosophy of Art and Aesthetics

In preparation for the University’s 50th anniversary in 2015, Kent has established an additional 100 doctoral scholarships to be awarded annually from 2012. Known as Kent’s 50th Anniversary Scholars, successful candidates will demonstrate academic excellence and outstanding research potential. Scholarships will be offered at the standard RCUK rate; applications are invited from UK/EU and international students.

Within the School of Arts, the 50th anniversary scholarships will be attached to the School’s five influential research groups and centres.
The Aesthetics Research Group brings together faculty and postgraduate students from History and Philosophy of Art, Film, and Philosophy. It has particular research expertise around visual art forms including painting, photography and film; depiction and representation; intersections between ethics and aesthetics; beauty, taste and the sublime in 18th century aesthetics; the aesthetics of popular music; the interrelations between art and science; and topics in the contemporary philosophy of art. Applications in any of these areas are encouraged.
For information on the Aesthetics Research Group, its members and activities see www.aesthetics-research.org.
For questions about research proposals please contact Dr Hans Maes (H [dot] Maes [__at__] kent [dot] ac [dot] uk).
