The Division of Engineering and Applied Science at the California Institute of Technology invites applications for tenure-track and tenured faculty positions. Preference will be given to candidates at the Assistant Professor level; however, extraordinary applicants at the Associate Professor or Full Professor level may also be considered. We seek highly qualified candidates who are committed to a career in teaching, mentoring, and research excellence in the broad areas of Information, Systems, and Computing. Applicants should have a record of innovation in a relevant research domain,

Pascale Senellart traces the development of technologies that directly exploit superposition and entanglement. Experimental control of photons, atoms and fabricated quantum systems has enabled new ways to encode and process information. The lecture connects these advances to quantum computation, secure communication and sensitive measurements, while explaining the close relationship between fundamental research and technological development.
