At Atom Computing, the business problem is to advance the state-of-the-art in quantum computing by building quantum computers using arrays of optically trapped neutral atoms to empower customers to achieve unprecedented computational breakthroughs.
Requirements
- Experience in Trapping and manipulation of cold atoms
- Experience in Coherent control of quantum systems (for example: neutral atoms, trapped ions, NV- centers, nuclear magnetic resonance, superconducting qubits)
- Experience in Quantum characterization, verification, and validation (QCVV) techniques
- Familiarity with Python
- Familiarity with Git software version control
Responsibilities
- Design and construct the scientific hardware and control interfaces (both hardware and software) that are the essential backbone of the quantum computing platform.
- Requires extensive knowledge of the state-of-the-art techniques used in atomic physics and quantum computing research, and a deep understanding of the fundamental interactions between light and matter.
Other
- PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, or a related field.
- Ability to effectively communicate and collaborate with a diverse team of experimental physicists, hardware, and software engineers.
- Temperamentally suited to work at a fast-growing, early stage startup: self-motivated, humble, driven, collaborative, and has a high tolerance for ambiguity and uncertainty.
- Capable of lifting and moving objects that weigh up to 25 pounds.
- Quantum Engineers are required to be in one of our main office locations on a full-time basis to complete the duties of the position.
