Advanced Quantum Testbed Project Scientist

`Berkeley Lab's Applied Math and Computational Research Division (AMCR) has an opening in the QuIST (Quantum Information Science and Technology) Group for Project Scientists in support of The Advanced Quantum Testbed (AQT) project as well as future Quantum Information Science and Technology efforts.

The AQT program is focused on constructing, enhancing, operating, and maintaining an open, fully accessible gate-based quantum computer. Our technology platform is based on superconducting quantum circuit processors, and we aim to generate the detailed experimental findings needed to resolve foundational questions in quantum information science, and to guide near-term hardware and algorithm co-design.

What You Will Do :

• Design of superconducting electronic devices with emphasis on superconducting quantum processors with emphasis in qubit crosstalk mitigation and overall processor fidelity improvement.
• Fabrication of superconducting electronic devices with emphasis on superconducting quantum processors with
• Device characterization and optimization
• Design and conduct state-of-the-art experiments such as superconducting quantum processors.
• Troubleshoot noise processes on quantum hardware and design and implement mitigation strategies.
• Validate, analyze, and interpret experimental data.
• Supervise group post-doctoral candidates and graduate students as required.
• Operating, optimizing and maintaining a dilution refrigerator for state-of-the-art superconducting quantum processor operation.
