Quantum Performance and Demonstrations - Intern 2027

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. No metadata like Job ID. Remove boilerplate. Preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting: It has Introduction (description of IBM Research), then "Your Role And Responsibilities" with bullet list (starting with "Over the course of the internship, you will:" then bullet points). Then "Preferred Education" then "Required Technical And Professional Expertise" then "Preferred Technical And Professional Experience". There's no explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should not include those sections. We need sections: About the role (maybe from Introduction?), Responsibilities (the bullet list), Requirements (maybe from Required Technical And Professional Expertise?), Qualifications (maybe from Preferred Education?), Skills (maybe from Preferred Technical And Professional Experience?). We need to decide mapping. We must not create sections with filler. So we need to include sections only if there is real specific content. We have content: - Introduction: description of IBM Research, mission, etc. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the role" is not exactly but we can treat as "About the role". The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use About the role for the introductory paragraph. - Responsibilities: the bullet list after "Over the course of the internship, you will:" includes multiple bullet points. - Requirements: maybe the "Required Technical And Professional Expertise" list. - Qualifications: maybe the "Preferred Education" (Master's Degree) plus enrollment etc. - Skills: maybe the "Preferred Technical And Professional Experience" list. We must not include Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. There's none apparent. We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. We need to ensure we don't put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Now let's extract content precisely. Original text: Introduction At IBM Research, we are the innovation engine of IBM. Exploring what’s next in computing and shaping the technologies the world will rely on tomorrow. From advancing AI and hybrid cloud to pioneering practical quantum computing, we anticipate challenges and unlock new opportunities for clients, partners, and society. Working in Research means joining a team that accelerates discovery at the intersection of high-performance computing, AI, quantum, and cloud. You’ll collaborate with leading scientists, engineers, and visionaries to push boundaries and turn ideas into reality. With a culture built on curiosity, creativity, and collaboration, IBM Research offers the opportunity to grow your career while contributing to breakthroughs that transform industries and change the world. Your Role And Responsibilities As a research intern working on quantum system performance, capabilities, and demonstrations, you will work alongside IBM researchers to develop methods for understanding, improving, and demonstrating the capabilities of quantum computing systems. Your project will be shaped in collaboration with your mentor and may draw on areas such as quantum characterization and benchmarking, error mitigation and suppression, quantum error correction, dynamic circuits, quantum simulation, and the design of experiments that probe the limits of current and emerging quantum processors. Over the course of the internship, you will: Explore research questions related to quantum system performance and capabilities, working with your mentor and the broader team to identify promising directions and develop them into concrete investigations and demonstrations. Design and execute experiments on quantum processors to characterize system performance, evaluate techniques for improving computational accuracy, or demonstrate emerging quantum capabilities. Develop quantitative methods for assessing performance, including characterization, benchmarking, error analysis, and comparisons with numerical or theoretical predictions. Explore how techniques such as error mitigation, error suppression, dynamic circuits, and error detection or correction can extend the range and quality of computations achievable on quantum hardware. Work with researchers across theory, software, and hardware to connect system-level advances to scientifically meaningful quantum computing demonstrations. Document and communicate your findings, and develop workflows and best practices that enable colleagues to apply these techniques in their own quantum experiments and demonstrations. Preferred Education Master's Degree Required Technical And Professional Expertise Enrollment in an academic graduate program (Ph.D. or research- focused Master's) in Physics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering, or a closely related field, with a focus on quantum computing, quantum information science, or a related area. Coursework or research experience in quantum computing, quantum information science, quantum mechanics, linear algebra, or closely related fields. Demonstrated experience performing independent research through research projects, a thesis, internships, or prior publications. Experience with scientific computing and at least one general- purpose programming language (e.g., Python), including analysis of numerical or experimental data and drawing quantitative conclusions. Preferred Technical And Professional Experience Publications or preprints in quantum computing, quantum information science, quantum characterization, error mitigation, quantum simulation, or experimental demonstrations on quantum hardware. Experience designing and executing experiments on quantum computing hardware, including characterization, benchmarking, dynamic decoupling, error amplification, or related studies, and interpreting experimental results. Programming experience with core scientific Python libraries (e.g., NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib) and quantum software frameworks such as Qiskit. Familiarity with noise modeling, error mitigation or suppression, and dynamic circuits or experience with numerical simulation of quantum circuits or open quantum systems and comparison of simulations with experimental data. Familiarity with AI tooling for research. Note: The text "Preferred Education Master's Degree Required Technical And Professional Expertise" seems concatenated; we need to separate. Probably "Preferred Education" then "Master's Degree" then "Required Technical And Professional Expertise". Actually the posting says: "Preferred Education Master's Degree Required Technical And Professional Expertise". Likely they meant: Preferred Education: Master's Degree. Required Technical And Professional Expertise: ... So we need to parse. Thus sections: - About the role: Introduction paragraph(s). - Responsibilities: bullet list after "Over the course of the internship, you will:". - Requirements: Required Technical And Professional Expertise (the list after that heading). - Qualifications: Preferred Education (Master's Degree) plus enrollment etc? Actually the enrollment etc is part of Required Technical And Professional Expertise? Wait the Required list includes enrollment etc. Let's re-evaluate. The text after "Preferred Education Master's Degree Required Technical And Professional Expertise" is: "Enrollment in an academic graduate program (Ph.D. or research- focused Master's) in Physics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering, or a closely related field, with a focus on quantum computing, quantum information science, or a related area. Coursework or research experience in quantum computing, quantum information science, quantum mechanics, linear algebra, or closely related fields. Demonstrated experience performing independent research through research projects, a thesis, internships, or prior publications. Experience with scientific computing and at least one general- purpose programming language (e.g., Python), including analysis of numerical or experimental data and drawing quantitative conclusions." That seems like the Required Technical And Professional Expertise. Thus "Preferred Education" is just "Master's Degree". Then "Required Technical And Professional Expertise" is the list above. Then "Preferred Technical And Professional Experience" is the later list. Thus we have: - About the role: Introduction. - Responsibilities: bullet list. - Qualifications: Preferred Education (Master's Degree). Could also include maybe "Preferred Education" as a short statement. - Requirements: Required Technical And Professional Expertise (list). - Skills: Preferred Technical And Professional Experience (list). We must not create sections with filler. So we need to include each of these if they have substantive content. Check each: About the role: Introduction paragraph has substantive content about IBM Research. Yes. Responsibilities: bullet list of duties. Yes. Qualifications: Preferred Education: "Master's Degree". That's somewhat minimal but still substantive? It says "Preferred Education Master's Degree". That's a specific requirement. It's not filler like "commensurate with experience". It's a specific degree level. So we can include Qualifications section with that content. Requirements: Required Technical And Professional Expertise list: includes enrollment, coursework, experience, programming experience. Substantive. Skills: Preferred Technical And Professional Experience list: publications, experience designing experiments, programming experience with libraries, familiarity with noise modeling, AI tooling. Substantive. Thus we will output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Skills. We need to use

  for each section heading. Inside each section, we need to use

  for prose and

  • for lists. For About the role: It's prose (multiple sentences). We'll put in

    . For Responsibilities: we have a lead sentence before the bullet list: "As a research intern working on quantum system performance, capabilities, and demonstrations, you will work alongside IBM researchers to develop methods for understanding, improving, and demonstrating the capabilities of quantum computing systems. Your project will be shaped in collaboration with your mentor and may draw on areas such as quantum characterization and benchmarking, error mitigation and suppression, quantum error correction, dynamic circuits, quantum simulation, and the design of experiments that probe the limits of current and emerging quantum processors." Then the bullet list starts with "Over the course of the internship, you will:" followed by bullet points. We need to decide how to format. The instruction: Use

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should put the bullet points as
      • . The preceding sentences can be in

        . The lead-in "Over the course of the internship, you will:" could be part of the

        or we could include it as part of the list intro. Probably better to include it in the

        preceding the list. Thus:

        Responsibilities

        As a research intern working on quantum system performance, capabilities, and demonstrations, you will work alongside IBM researchers to develop methods for understanding, improving, and demonstrating the capabilities of quantum computing systems. Your project will be shaped in collaboration with your mentor and may draw on areas such as quantum characterization and benchmarking, error mitigation and suppression, quantum error correction, dynamic circuits, quantum simulation, and the design of experiments that probe the limits of current and emerging quantum processors. Over the course of the internship, you will:

        • Explore research questions related to quantum system performance and capabilities, working with your mentor and the broader team to identify promising directions and develop them into concrete investigations and demonstrations.
        • Design and execute experiments on quantum processors to characterize system performance, evaluate techniques for improving computational accuracy, or demonstrate emerging quantum capabilities.
        • Develop quantitative methods for assessing performance, including characterization, benchmarking, error analysis, and comparisons with numerical or theoretical predictions.
        • Explore how techniques such as error mitigation, error suppression, dynamic circuits, and error detection or correction can extend the range and quality of computations achievable on quantum hardware.
        • Work with researchers across theory, software, and hardware to connect system-level advances to scientifically meaningful quantum computing demonstrations.
        • Document and communicate your findings, and develop workflows and best practices that enable colleagues to apply these techniques in their own quantum experiments and demonstrations.
        Now Qualifications: Preferred Education Master's Degree. Could be a short

        . Thus:

        Qualifications

        Preferred Education: Master's Degree.

        But we might also include that it's "Preferred Education Master's Degree". Could be just "Master's Degree". We'll keep as a sentence. Now Requirements: Required Technical And Professional Expertise list. We need to capture the list items: - Enrollment in an academic graduate program (Ph.D. or research- focused Master's) in Physics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering, or a closely related field,
