Intern, Quantum Architecture
Role Overview
We are currently only reviewing applications of candidate's that have their Ph.D. or are currently enrolled in a Ph.D. program.
Quantum architecture internships offer a chance to work in cutting edge research to move quantum computing from a theoretical concept to a real-world technology.
As an intern you will work with our quantum architecture team to contribute to the development of a full-stack quantum computing architecture.
Topics can include theory and modelling of linear optical networks, fusion-based quantum computing, fault tolerance, decoding methods, logical architecture, simulation and modeling methods.
Internships take place through ought the year with durations from 3 to 6 months.
We offer placement opportunities in Palo Alto, California (United States), Brisbane (Australia) as well remote positions.
