Intern, Quantum Architecture

Job Summary

We are currently only reviewing applications of candidates that have their Ph.D. or are currently enrolled in a Ph.D. program. Quantum architecture internships offer a chance to work in cutting-edge research to move quantum computing from a theoretical concept to a real-world technology. As an intern you will work with our quantum architecture team to contribute to the development of a full-stack quantum computing architecture.

Responsibilities

• Develop and study methods for fault-tolerant FBQC.
  • Project topics could include: linear optical networks, FBQC protocols, quantum error correcting codes, decoding methods, simulation and modeling methods.
  • Model the origin and propagation of errors.
  • Simulate and benchmark different protocols.
  • Document and communicate results.

Qualifications

• Degree in Physics, Math or Computer Science or equivalent required.
• Currently studying for, or completed a postgraduate degree related to linear optics, fault tolerance or another aspect of quantum computing.
• Knowledge of quantum information is required.
• Familiarity with some of the following is desirable: quantum networks, graph states, stabilizer methods, quantum error-correcting codes, linear optical quantum computing, error modeling, graphical calculus (e.g, tensor networks, ZX calculus).
• Experience programming in Python, C++ or similar languages.
• Competent use of collaborative software development tools (e.g., GitHub) is desirable.
• A creative and adaptable approach to problem solving.
• Ability to work effectively in a highly collaborative team.
