Job Description
As Lead Quantum Engineer Readout you will lead initiatives to optimize superconducting qubit readout and reset on our quantum processors and faulttolerant prototypes. Working alongside theorists as well as the hardware and device design teams you will develop and execute on wideranging experimental programs to empirically characterize and improve measurement protocols signal chains amplifiers and device designs. Using the resulting empirical and theoretical models you will develop fast highfidelity readout and reset in our most advanced quantum computers.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead Rigettis experimental programs to characterize and improve the full readout stack
- Develop models for readout performance (both inside and outside of the rotating wave approximation) and use them to design readout circuits capable of fast highfidelity operation
- Identify novel measurement techniques and pulse optimizations to better characterize and improve readout performance and implement these in Rigettis Pythonbased calibration and characterization software
- Corroborate experimental results with detailed theory and simulation
- Work with the hardware and device design teams to design shortloops and testchips intended to isolate relevant aspects of the full readout stack and accelerate R&D
- Develop fast qubit reset protocols to accelerate circuit and enable errorcorrecting codes
- Optimize Rigettis readout for quantum error correction including high fidelity rapid midcircuit measurement and ancilla readout
- Collaborate with diverse teams of engineers and scientists in device theory algorithms software control hardware chip design and gate operation
Required Qualifications
- Ph.D. in Physics Applied Physics Electrical Engineering or a related field plus 2 years of industry or postdoctoral experience
- Expertise in circuit quantum electrodynamics and dispersive readout in particular
- Demonstrated ability to perform measurements on quantum systems and explain the results through theory and/or simulation
- Exposure to superconducting qubits either in academic or industrial settings
- Experience with software development in an industry setting in languages such as Python C C Rust etc.
- Experience with lowlevel pulse optimization of quantum gates or readout
- Ability to excel in a collaborative environment
- Excellent communication skills
