Job description

Summary:

The individual in this internship role will have the unique opportunity to work at the intersection of quantum physics, atomic physics and computer science. The Quantum Systems team covers the design and implementation of system-wide features of the quantum computer architecture. As a member of this team, you will get a holistic view of the quantum computer design at QuEra Computing Inc.  

Responsibilities:

  • Atomic Physics Pipeline Development: Contribute to the development, design and integration of atomic physics pipelines.  
  • Algorithm Development: Contribute to the design and development of algorithms that address specific challenges in quantum computing applications. This may involve simulating quantum systems, error correction, and quantum circuit optimization. 
  • Experimental Support and Data Analysis: 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 or recently completed a degree in computer science, physics, mathematics, or a related field.
  • Strong programming skills in Python (PyTorch, NumPy, SciPy, Pandas).
  • Familiarity with FPGA and other embedded control systems.  
  • Optics experience is required.
  • Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills.  
  • Strong evidence of independent work.  
  • While a solid foundation in quantum physics is not necessary, a strong background in computer science and mathematics is required. 

On-site internship. There is no relocation offered for this role.

QuEra is committed to cultivating a diverse work environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We highly value diversity in our current and future employees and do not discriminate (including in our hiring and promotion practices) based on race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
