PsiQuantum is on a mission to build the world’s first utility-scale, 1 million-plus qubit quantum computer, powered by breakthroughs in silicon photonics and quantum architecture. We were founded in 2015 by the world’s foremost experts in photonic quantum computing and have assembled a world class team dedicated to bringing the world-changing benefits of quantum computing into reality.

Quantum computing is anticipated to unlock the solutions to otherwise impossible computational tasks, with impact across science, technology, and business. By harnessing the laws of quantum physics, quantum computers are expected to dramatically outperform even the most powerful existing (or future) supercomputers and offer the potential to enable extraordinary advances across a broad range of applications including climate, energy, healthcare, finance, agriculture, transportation, materials design, and more, as well as deliver entirely new industries.

PsiQuantum is uniquely positioned to deliver on the promise of quantum computing. We have already demonstrated that it’s possible to manufacture core quantum components using the standard and scalable manufacturing processes of a world-leading semiconductor fab.

Our team is working across the full stack of quantum computing, from hardware design, manufacturing, and packaging through to quantum architecture and quantum algorithms. We’re a highly integrated, collaborative group and love tackling problems than span across interfaces.

There’s more work to be done and we are looking for exceptional talent to join us on this extraordinary journey!

Responsibilities:

• Drive superconducting model-experimental closure by mapping superconducting model & simulation results to experimental data, incl. error analysis.
• Performing data analysis and development data analysis algorithms.
• Collaboration with experimental, design, process, photonics, and systems teams to understand the design and system-level constraints.
• Continuous survey of literature on superconducting detectors.

Experience/Qualifications:

• A PhD in Physics or Electrical Engineering.
• 2+ years of hands-on experience with superconducting devices.
• 2+ years of experience of modeling and simulations.
• 2+ years of experience in high-frequency / time-domain measurements.

An ideal candidate will have experience with:

• Hands-on experience with design of photon-number-resolving detectors.
• Experience with Sonnet and/or HFSS, electronic circuits simulations, and COMSOL.
• Experience with computer programming, Python preferred.
• High-frequency and time-domain experiments.
• High-impact publications in independently peer-reviewed scientific journals.
