Full description
At Atom Computing, we build quantum computers using arrays of optically trapped neutral atoms that will empower customers to achieve unprecedented computational breakthroughs. Join a world-class team of scientists, engineers, and business professionals to advance the state-of-the-art in quantum computing.
We are seeking a research intern to contribute to the architecture and strategy of error correction on neutral atom quantum computers. Atomic qubit arrays provide a path to the large-scale quantum computers that will deliver fault-tolerant, error-corrected logical qubits.
You will work with our Quantum Error Correction team to tackle targeted research questions related to fault-tolerant quantum computing using neutral-atom hardware. We are specifically seeking candidates with expertise in the following areas:
• Applications of machine learning/AI for quantum computing
• QEC codes and fault-tolerant logic
• Magic state production
• Synthesis and compilation of fault-tolerant algorithms
• Design, simulation, and execution of fault-tolerant protocols
\n
Responsibilities
•
Contribute to new and ongoing research projects at Atom Computing, particularly those related to quantum error correction and fault tolerance.
Experience & Education
• Currently pursuing a PhD in Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Experience with quantum error correction theory or experiment.
Qualifications
• Willingness to translate concepts into demonstrations running on actual quantum computing hardware.
• Familiarity with Python and Git software version control
• Temperamentally suited to work at a fast-growing startup: self-motivated, humble, driven, and collaborative.
• Ability to effectively communicate and collaborate with a diverse team of experimental physicists, hardware, and software engineers.
