Job Description
A Quantum Device Measurement Scientist will operate cryogenic equipment, develop measurement and control techniques for single spin qubits, analyze experimental results, and collaborate with a team to advance quantum device performance towards industrial-scale quantum processors.
Key Responsibilities
- Operate a dilution refrigerator for low-noise, cryogenic experiments on microwave-controlled single spin qubit devices
- Develop measurement techniques and quantum control methods for Loss-DiVincenzo single spin qubits
- Generate script-level code to support experimental development and data analysis
- Analyze experimental results and apply theory and modeling to improve device performance and yield
- Document and report findings through oral presentations, written reports, and publications
- Collaborate with team members to improve experimental infrastructure, control hardware/software, and device designs
- Interface effectively with staff at academic partner institutions
Requirements
- Operate a dilution refrigerator for the purpose of conducting low-noise, cryogenic experiments on microwave-controlled single spin qubit devices.
- Develop the measurement techniques and quantum control methods required to operate Loss-DiVincenzo single spin qubits, including the generation of script level code to support experimental development and data analysis.
- Analyze results, document and report findings in oral presentations, written reports, and publications.
- Analyze measurement results through the application of relevant theory and modeling to define approaches for further device improvements in performance and/or yield.
- Effectively collaborate with other members of the team to identify and implement improvements to experimental infrastructure, control hardware, software, and device designs.
- Interface effectively with staff at academic partner institutions.
- Possess detailed knowledge of modern experimental physics techniques including troubleshooting analog electronics and noise analysis.
- Have familiarity with scientific programming for data analysis and hardware interfacing (specific programming language is not critical).
- Have experience in scientific communication through technical presentations and journal publications.
- Hold a Ph.D. in Physics, Applied Physics, or Electrical Engineering with an emphasis on quantum devices or technologies.
- Must be able to climb ladders to use elevated test equipment.
- Must be able to work safely in a laboratory environment and be on-site at least four days per week.
- Must be able to work at a computer for extended periods.
- U.S. citizenship is required.
- Ability to obtain and maintain a US Government Clearance.
