Job description

The Research Scientist role at Google focuses on inter-chip gate operations in quantum computing, particularly using superconducting qubits. The position involves developing and analyzing gate schemes for multiplexing and performing numerical simulations to optimize system parameters. The scientist will collaborate closely with hardware teams to interpret experimental data and contribute to the wider research community through publications. This role is part of Google's mission to advance quantum computing capabilities and unlock solutions to complex problems.

Requirements

  • PhD degree in Physics or Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Experience with coding in Python.
  • One or more scientific publication submissions for conferences, journals, or public repositories related to quantum computing.

Responsibilities

  • Perform numerical simulations of inter-chip gate operations for superconducting transmon qubits and develop gate schemes suitable for multiplexing.
  • Develop physics-based models for gate error mechanisms such as inter-chip cross-talk.
  • Optimize system parameters through numerical simulations.
  • Analyze experimental data.
  • Propose and analyze new couplers for chip-to-chip connection with advanced performance.

Benefits

  • Employees at Google are often offered benefits like comprehensive health insurance, 401(k) matching, and flexible work arrangements, among other benefits.
