NVIDIA is seeking a Quantum Research Scientist Intern to develop automated high-performance quantum error correcting code discovery pipelines. This role involves working at the intersection of quantum code design and AI-driven automation, contributing to the future of quantum computing. The intern will be part of a team focused on creating techniques to discover and design high-performance quantum error correcting codes for realistic quantum systems. This position offers an opportunity to work in a diverse and innovative environment.

• Pursuing a Master's or PhD in Physics, Electrical/Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Proficiency in Python and a background in quantum computing fundamentals, especially superconducting qubits and circuit QED.
• Familiarity with standard quantum superconducting qubit chip design software.
• Exposure to electromagnetic simulation tools such as Ansys HFSS, Palace, or comparable solvers.
• Good teamwork, communication, and documentation skills.

• Develop automated quantum error correcting code discovery protocols and pipelines.
• Use AI and automation to identify novel quantum error correcting codes that achieve high-performance across encoding rate, error suppression, and system realizability.
• Integrate various classical machine learning methods for identifying high-performance code constructions.
• Build bespoke machine learning models tailored to high-performance code design.
• Analyze and evaluate the performance of fault-tolerant circuits implementing quantum error correcting logic and memory using analysis and simulation tools.

• Employees at NVIDIA are often offered comprehensive, day-one benefits—including medical, dental, and vision coverage with HSA support, life and disability insurance, an Employee Assistance Program, and a 401(k) with auto-enrollment. Many roles also have generous time off and holidays, donation matching (up to $10,000), and a wide menu of extras like FSAs, commuter benefits, legal and identity-theft protection, pet insurance, and wellness discounts. Optional programs can include student-loan and home-purchase support, plus family care resources and expert medical services.
