Job description

Summary

The individual in this internship role will contribute to the advancement of neutral-atom based quantum computing technologies. You will be involved in the design, implementation, and characterization of neutral-atom quantum computing systems, and collaborate closely with a multidisciplinary team of physicists, engineers, and computer scientists to push the boundaries of quantum computing using neutral-atom platforms.

Responsibilities

  • Assist in the design and build state-of-the-art neutral atom quantum computers as directed by your mentor(s).
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to verify and validate modules and subsystems for neutral atom quantum computers.
  • Investigate sources of noise and decoherence and contribute to proposed mitigation strategies.
  • Assist in experimental setups related to neutral atom quantum computing, which may include working with optical components, lasers, and atom trapping systems.
  • Analyze experimental data using the Python scientific stack to provide insights and feedback for continuous improvement in our quantum computing applications.

Qualifications

  • Pursuing a degree in physics, computer science, mathematics, or a related field.
  • Strong physics background and experience in optics.
  • Programming skills in Python, including the Python scientific stack (PyTorch, NumPy, SciPy, Pandas) are plus but not required.
  • Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
