About the role
At Q-CTRL, we’re pioneering the future of quantum technology. In this role, you will join a collaborative team of quantum scientists and software engineers to advance the control and calibration of superconducting quantum hardware. Your primary focus will be on runtime calibration methods for optimizing two-qubit gates, enabling the high-fidelity execution of quantum algorithms and quantum error correction at scale. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Design and test novel calibration techniques for two-qubit gates across different hardware architectures
- Develop scalable protocols for processor optimization (e.g. cross-talk mitigation, leakage reduction, defect mitigation)
- Conduct research in runtime control strategies leveraging low-latency compute
- Collaborate with engineering and product teams to translate ideas and research outcomes into production-level software
- Explain, document and present research solutions in accessible language
- An advanced degree in Physics, Engineering, or a closely related discipline. A PhD is preferred, but we also consider exceptional candidates with previous industry experience
