MIT Lincoln Laboratory's Quantum-Enabled Computation Group is seeking to explore, prototype, and demonstrate transformative computational advantage by leveraging quantized and entangled signals through research in quantum computing, classical computing with superconducting circuits, and quantum information science.
Requirements
- research or significant laboratory experience in at least one of our three core technical areas
- hands-on experience with test equipment through previous internships, laboratory coursework, or research experience
- strong scientific programming skills, preferably in Python and/or MATLAB
- Strong technical skills
- intellectual curiosity
- eagerness to tackle open-ended problems
Responsibilities
- contribute to efforts within the Quantum-Enabled Computation group
- contributing to the design and test of first-of-their-kind superconducting GPUs
- developing and modernizing a test automation codebase for quantum device characterization
- performing resource estimation for quantum algorithms
- investigating noise mechanisms in superconducting circuits
- collaborate with and learn from each other and technical experts in the Group
- document and present their results to the Group at the end of the internship
Other
- Current enrollment in a program working towards a BA/BS, MA/MS, or PhD degree in physics, electrical engineering, materials science, quantum information, computer science, or similar technical field.
- demonstrated effective organizational skills
- demonstrated strong written and oral communication skills
- Internships are typically 10–12 weeks, with flexible start and end dates, typically May through early August.
- Housing support is available for eligible non-local interns, including access to discounted university housing in Boston and a one-time taxable relocation payment.
