Internship Research & Development

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.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills.

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