Job description

Job Title:                Intern, Quantum Calibrations, Quantum Computing Services 
Job Type:                 Full-time, 3-6 months
Job Location:          Boston, MA 
Reports to:            VP of Quantum Computing Services                                                                                                                             

Summary:  

QuEra is seeking motivated interns to join our growing team focused on developing the calibration and performance characterization framework for QuEra's neutral-atom quantum computers. As an intern, you will collaborate with physicists, software engineers, and hardware specialists to design benchmarking protocols, build physics-informed models of device behavior, and develop predictive tools for real-time qubit state evolution.

This internship offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience at the interface of quantum hardware and data science, contributing to the development of calibration and performance characterization frameworks for scalable, reliable neutral-atom quantum computers.

This role is part of QuEra's Quantum Computing Services team and is based at QuEra's Boston headquarters. The team's mission is to develop QuEra's neutral-atom technology into cutting-edge quantum computing products and services.

Core Responsibilities

  • Develop and test data analysis routines to fit, visualize, and interpret experimental data.
  • Design and execute device benchmarking and characterization experiments.
  • Build and apply Hamiltonian learning routines to infer effective system parameters from time-evolution data.
  • Develop predictive models for key performance metrics (gate fidelity, coherence, readout error) using time-series calibration history and machine learning methods.
  • Collaborate closely with physicists, engineers, and software developers to integrate your work into QuEra's operational stack.

Qualifications

Required

  • Foundational understanding of quantum mechanics and open quantum systems at the graduate level.
  • Experience designing and analyzing experiments involving quantum or physical systems
  • Strong programming skills in Python, including familiarity with libraries such as NumPy, SciPy, Pandas, and Matplotlib.
  • Enjoys hands-on experimentation, iteration, and uncovering structure in data.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.

Preferred

  • Familiarity with quantum gate characterization protocols (randomized benchmarking, process tomography, GST) and error budget decomposition.
  • Exposure to Hamiltonian learning, system identification, or quantum noise spectroscopy methods.
  • Experience applying machine learning (Gaussian processes, time-series models, or neural networks) to physical or experimental data.
  • Exposure to laboratory instrumentation, data acquisition, or experimental control systems.

Education & Experience

  • Currently pursuing or recently completed a Master's or PhD in Physics, Applied Physics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or a related quantitative field.
