I’m eagerly seeking PhD students and postdocs to join our Quantum Information Center<\/a> at UT Austin, starting in Fall 2018.  We’re open to any theoretical aspects of quantum information, although if you wanted to work with me personally, then areas close to computer science would be the closest fit.  I’m also able to supervise PhD students in physics, but am not directly involved with admissions to the physics department: this is a discussion we would have after you were already admitted to UT.<\/p>\n

I, along with my theoretical computer science colleagues<\/a> at UT Austin, am also open to outstanding students and postdocs in classical complexity theory. My wife, Dana Moshkovitz<\/a>, tells me that she and David Zuckerman<\/a> in particular are looking for a postdoc in the areas of pseudorandomness and derandomization (and for PhD students as well).<\/p>\n

If you want to apply to the UTCS PhD program, please visit here<\/a>.  The deadline is December 15.  If you specify that you want to work on quantum computing and information, and\/or with me, then I’ll be sure to see your application.  Emailing faculty at this stage doesn’t help; we won’t “estimate your chances” or even look at your qualifications until we can see all the applications together.<\/p>\n

If you want to apply for a postdoc with me, here’s what to do:<\/p>\n
