Job description

The Research Scientist role focuses on modeling readout and reset processes in superconducting qubits within Google's Quantum AI team. This team aims to enhance the understanding of error mechanisms in quantum operations to improve performance and develop advanced schemes. The position involves collaboration with hardware teams and contributions to the wider research community through publications. The ultimate goal is to build a practically useful quantum computer capable of solving complex problems.

Requirements

  • PhD degree in Physics, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Experience with modeling of qubit systems.
  • Experience in programming using Python.
  • One or more scientific publication submissions related to Quantum computing.

Responsibilities

  • Develop models for readout and reset in superconducting qubits, including numerical models of physical processes causing errors.
  • Validate models with experimental results for system optimization and design.
  • Collaborate closely with the hardware team to analyze and theoretically understand experimental data.
  • Develop and maintain software and integrate it with data-taking infrastructure.
  • Propose and analyze prospective readout and reset schemes 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.
