About the job
As a Research Scientist, your primary focus will be performing millikelvin measurements of superconducting circuits for quantum computing which includes calibration of superconducting qubit gates, readout, and flux pulses using both room temperature electronics and cryogenically located electronics. You will be in tight collaboration with qubit designers, fabrication engineers and other measurement engineers to maximize device performance, reduce crosstalk, improve gate fidelities, and improve future designs devices. You will work on building a fully integrated, modular chip stack that combines superconducting qubits with their control electronics directly within the cryogenic environment, accelerating the path towards error-corrected quantum computers.The full potential of quantum computing will be unlocked with a large-scale computer capable of error-corrected computations. Google Quantum AI's mission is to build this computer and unlock solutions to classically intractable problems. Our roadmap is focused on advancing the capabilities of quantum computing and enabling meaningful applications.Responsibilities
- Calibrate and characterize superconducting qubits and mixed signal circuits including transmon, fluxonium, or single flux quantum (SFQ) superconducting circuits.
- Build and maintain software related to the control and analysis of these superconducting circuits.
- Design novel control schemes to calibrate qubits and interface with novel superconducting electronics.
- Partner with design, fabrication, and measurement teams to validate fully integrated quantum processors.
- Author high-quality research papers and present findings at leading scientific conferences to advance the state-of-the-art and enhance publicity.
