Intern, Quantum Architecture

Summary

Join PsiQuantum's quantum architecture team as an intern and contribute to the development of a full-stack quantum computing architecture. Internships last 3-6 months and are available in Palo Alto, Brisbane, or remotely. You will work on cutting-edge research, bridging the gap between theoretical concepts and real-world technology. Responsibilities include developing fault-tolerant methods, modeling errors, simulating protocols, and documenting results. The ideal candidate possesses a degree in Physics, Math, or Computer Science and knowledge of quantum information.

Requirements

• Degree in Physics, Math or Computer Science or equivalent required
• Currently studying for, or completed a postgraduate degree related to linear optics, fault tolerance or another aspect of quantum computing
• Knowledge of quantum information is required
• Experience programming in Python, C++ or similar languages
• A creative and adaptable approach to problem solving
• Ability to work effectively in a highly collaborative team

Responsibilities

• Develop and study methods for fault-tolerant FBQC
• Project topics could include: linear optical networks, FBQC protocols, quantum error correcting codes, decoding methods, simulation and modelling methods
• Model the origin and propagation of errors
• Simulate and benchmark different protocols
• Document and communicate results

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with some of the following is desirable: quantum networks, graph states, stabilizer methods, quantum error-correcting codes, linear optical quantum computing, error modelling, graphical calculus (e.g, tensor networks, ZX calculus)
• Competent use of collaborative software development tools (e.g., GitHub) is desirable
