Job Description

Summary

This role focuses on developing computational methods for in-the-loop stabilization of neutral atom Logical Quantum Processing Units (LQPUs). The position sits at the interface of quantum hardware and control systems, supporting both near-term experimental performance and the long-term development of control architectures for stable, fault-tolerant computing. 

The successful candidate will design and prototype state-of-the-art methods to enable reliable quantum operations and translate device measurements into actionable control feedback. Responsibilities include advancing capabilities such as measurement-informed feedback control and machine learning–driven inference.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and deploy machine learning models for high-fidelity quantum operation inference and control prediction.
  • Design and prototype in-the-loop control mechanisms that adapt sequences based on measurement outcomes and system state.
  • Collaborate with physics, quantum error-correction, hardware, and control teams to validate new stack components using experimental data and system-level performance
Required Qualifications
  • Ph.D. or equivalent experience in Physics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, with a strong background in quantum computing or quantum physics. 
  • Experience working with quantum computing platforms (neutral atoms, trapped ions, superconducting qubits, or similar). 
  • Demonstrated experience working with Machine Learning for inference and hardware in loop. 
  • Strong programming skills in Python, C++, or similar languages. 
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to take technical ownership. 
  • Effective communication skills and the ability to collaborate across physics, engineering, and software teams. 
  • Proficiency with Git and modern collaborative development workflows. 
  • Track record of publications or significant technical contributions in relevant areas.
