+Recently, it also has contributed to establish the fundamental limit on the transmission rate via Gaussian bosonic channels (the quantum extension of Shannon's famous channel capacity formula), and has discovered a quantum two-photon interference effect in the amplification of light akin to the Hong-Ou-Mandel effect.

+<box w=99% nodash|**JOB OPENING : Postdoctoral position in quantum foundations** >
+Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in quantum foundations. The researcher will work with Dr. Ognyan Oreshkov within the framework of the consortium project “The Quantum Information Structure of Spacetime ([[http://www.qiss.fr|QISS]])”, funded by the John Templeton Foundation. This is a multinational research effort at the intersection of quantum gravity, quantum computing, and quantum foundations, which aims to understand the structure of spacetime from an informational perspective through collaboration between experts from different fields. The position in Brussels will investigate the concept of causal structure in quantum theory, with particular focus on approaches to quantum theory in the absence of predefined causal structure, the notion of causal nonseparability and its relevance at the intersection of quantum mechanics and gravity, as well as the link between causal structure and quantum reference frames.
+Please direct informal enquiries to [[oreshkov@ulb.ac.be|Dr. Ognyan Oreshkov]].

 The QuIC center is happy to welcome Ognyan Oreshkov as a tenured F.R.S.-FNRS researcher, starting in October 2017. Ognyan received his Ph.D. from the University of Southern California and has held several postdoctoral positions in Europe, including in Barcelona, Vienna, Brussels, and Oxford. He previously received a Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowship and an F.R.S.-FNRS Postdoctoral Fellowship. Ognyan has been awarded a tenured Research Associate mandate for a project on indefinite causal structure in quantum theory. See {{:fnrs-news-110.pdf|FNRS news}} (issue of September 2017).
