How much do quantum research scientist hourly jobs pay per year?
As of Aug 8, 2026, the average yearly pay for quantum research scientist hourly in the United States is $130,117.00, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $107,500.00 and $173,000.00 per year, depending on experience, location, and employer.
What is the difference between Quantum Research Scientist Hourly vs Quantum Physicist?
| Aspect | Quantum Research Scientist Hourly | Quantum Physicist |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Master's or PhD in Physics, Quantum Mechanics | Master's or PhD in Physics, Quantum Mechanics |
| Work Environment | Research labs, universities, private sector | Research labs, academia, government agencies |
| Employer & Industry | Tech companies, research institutions, universities | Research institutions, government agencies, academia |
Both roles require advanced degrees in physics and involve research in quantum mechanics. The main difference is that Quantum Research Scientist Hourly typically refers to a position paid by the hour, often project-based or temporary, while Quantum Physicist may be a salaried role with broader responsibilities. Both work in similar environments and industries, focusing on advancing quantum technologies and understanding.

Research Scientist - Quantum & AI Photonic Chip Simulation
Hoboken, NJ • On-site
Full-time
Re-posted 2 days ago
Job description
Location: Hoboken, NJ
Department: Tomorrow
Reports to: Ting Bu
Position Overview
The Research Scientist will work on the modeling, simulation, and architectural development of
quantum and artificial intelligence (AI) computational structures intended for chip-scale
implementation. This role focuses on translating advanced quantum and AI concepts into
physically realistic, simulation-validated device and system designs suitable for fabrication. It
concentrates on high-fidelity simulation, feasibility analysis, and performance optimization under
practical fabrication constraints. The role serves as a technical bridge between the research
team developing novel quantum/AI architectures and the chip fabrication team responsible for
implementation, ensuring that proposed designs are physically realizable, scalable, and
performance-optimized prior to tape-out.
Duties and Responsibilities
• Develop and simulate quantum and AI-based photonic architectures for on-chip
implementation.
• Translate high-level computational concepts into device-level and system-level
simulation models.
• Perform rigorous electromagnetic and multiphysics simulations to evaluate optical,
nonlinear, and quantum effects.
• Model and simulate quantum photonic circuits and quantum gates under realistic device
conditions.
• Analyze fabrication tolerances and material constraints to assess design robustness.
Optimize photonic device structures for performance, scalability, and manufacturability.
• Collaborate closely with fabrication and packaging teams to ensure simulation models
align with process capabilities.
• Support post-fabrication validation by correlating experimental results with simulation
predictions.
• Document modeling methodologies, simulation results, and architectural trade-offs for
internal and external reporting.
Required Qualifications
Education
• Ph.D. in Physics, Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
Technical Background
• Strong foundation in Photonics, Quantum optics, Nonlinear optics
• Demonstrated experience in simulation of photonic integrated circuits.
• Experience modeling and simulating quantum gates or quantum optical systems.
• Understanding of semiconductor/TFLN and photonic chip fabrication processes sufficient
to incorporate realistic constraints into simulations.
• Familiarity with chip testing and packaging considerations from a modeling perspective.
Software Proficiency
• Lumerical (FDTD, MODE, INTERCONNECT)
• Tidy3D
• COMSOL Multiphysics
• Python
• MATLAB
