+==== Grant offers ====
+A 2-year postdoctoral grant and a one-year PhD grant (with possibility of extension) are available as part of a project whose objectives are to study quantum communication complexity and devise explicit quantum protocols for cryptographic primitives such as weak coin flipping.
+Interested applicants should send an email with their resume to jroland (at) ulb.ac.be. Applicants are also encouraged to have at least 2 letters of recommendation arranged to be sent to the same address.
+Consideration of candidates will be effective immediately and will continue until the positions are filled.

+* From May 20 to 22, 2015, Stefano Pironio and I organize the 10th Conference on the Theory of Quantum Computation, Communication and Cryptography (TQC 2015) in Brussels. More information [[http://tqc2015.ulb.ac.be|here]].
+  * On May 31, 2015, I will run the 20km of Brussels for [[http://www.medecinsdumonde.be/|Doctors of the World]]. Help me support their action by [[http://www.medecinsdumonde.be/events/20-km-de-bruxelles/j-r-mie_roland|sponsoring my race]].
+  * How to separate information and communication complexity? My joint paper with (too many coauthors to list!), which was accepted at [[http://www.kurims.kyoto-u.ac.jp/icalp2015/|ICALP 2015]], takes a fresh look at this problem: [ [[http://eccc.hpi-web.de/report/2015/028/|http]] ]
+  * Any query problem can be solved optimally with bounded error by an adiabatic quantum algorithm, as shown in the article I coauthored with my PhD student Mathieu Brandeho, which was accepted at [[http://tqc2015.ulb.ac.be|TQC 2015]]. Congratulations to Mathieu for his first accepted article! [ [[http://arxiv.org/abs/1409.3558|arXiv]] ]
+  * Quantum walks can find a marked element on any graph! The original result was obtained in 2010 with my coauthors Hari Krovi, Frédéric Magniez and Maris Ozols, but the full journal article is finally available in Algorithmica: [ [[http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00453-015-9979-8|DOI]] | [[http://arxiv.org/abs/1002.2419|arXiv]] ]
