Dear all,
we are happy to announce that the first Early Career Conference on Trapped Ions will be held in January 2020. Proposed and organized by young researchers for young researchers, this event is exclusively dedicated to PhD students and young postdocs, in order to give them a platform to discuss, exchange and network. The location will be CERN, and the program will mix talks, posters, discussions, and a CERN visit. The outline of the program will be made over summer, and registration is planned for autumn. This event is part of the COST Action, and registration and lodging are announced to be quite inexpensive.
SAVE THE DATE : 13-17 January 2020.
Best regards,
Your editorial team

Postdoc position: Join an effort with the long-term goal of exploring the physics and technology required to enable high-performance quantum computing, simulation, and sensing with trapped ions. Near-term research is focused on novel quantum information processing techniques and encodings in trapped ions, and methods to enhance the fidelity and speed of quantum operations through use of trap-integrated technologies and novel protocols. This research, which will be performed primarily in the MIT laboratory of Isaac Chuang, will be part of the newly-developed MIT Center for Quantum Engineering and is an opportunity to work with a diverse, tightly integrated team of physicists and engineers from both MIT and MIT Lincoln Laboratory. Please contact Isaac Chuang (ichuang@mit.edu) and/or Jeremy Sage (je20418@mit.edu) for more details.
You can also find postdoc positions in frequency metrology, cold atoms and quantum information
