Experimental Physicist II (Quantum Annealing or Qubit Coherence) [616] - Hybrid (Burnaby, British Columbia, CA), Canada

About the role

This role involves developing and characterizing superconducting quantum processors, focusing on improving their real-world performance and understanding noise in superconducting circuits.

What you'll do

• Develop and execute experimental procedures to quantify, understand, and operate superconducting devices.
• Propose new ideas to improve processor operation or performance and develop parametric designs.
• Develop theoretical models and simulations to represent and understand experimental results on physical devices.
• Develop analysis routines to fit theoretical models to data and detect outlier behavior in systems of superconducting devices.
• Document experimental results for the broader processor development team.
• Create and contribute to LISP software infrastructure for modeling, calibrating, and operating processors.

What you'll need

• Ph.D. or M.Sc. in physics or a related discipline, or equivalent experimental research experience.
• Strong software development experience related to experimental design and automation, data acquisition, and data analysis.
• Exceptional candidates will have a solid background in quantum information, digital or analog superconducting devices, device physics, or noise models and characterization.

Skills: superconducting circuits, quantum processors, noise models, experimental procedures, device physics
