Superconducting Qubit Physicist role involves designing, building, and operating superconducting qubit quantum computing systems, improving qubit performance, and collaborating with colleagues on full-stack integration and use of quantum computing systems.
The National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) is a joint initiative of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), established to address the challenge of scaling quantum computing towards useful computing systems.
About the Role
* Design, build, and operate superconducting qubit quantum computing systems
* Develop and apply strategies to improve qubit performance, system integration, and scaling
* Perform experimental characterisation, calibration, automation, and benchmarking of superconducting qubit systems
* Collaborate with colleagues on full-stack integration and use of quantum computing systems
* Perform research relevant to scaling qubit architectures and their supporting technologies
Key Responsibilities
* Design scalable, flexible, and robust quantum computing systems
* Develop high-performance qubit development, wiring, and control system integration
* Perform noise analysis and benchmarking of superconducting qubit systems
Person Specification
* PhD-level or equivalent industry research in superconducting quantum devices
* Familiarity with experimental laboratory work and operation of a dilution fridge
* Experience of device handling & packaging and knowledge of nanofabrication processes
* Programming skills for scientific work (e.g. simulations, instrumentation, measurements, data analysis)
