Job Title: Superconducting Qubit Physicist

Location: Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Harwell Campus, Oxfordshire, UK

Contract Type: Up to 2 Permanent Positions

Salary: Band E S1, £53,818 - £59,199 (gross per annum dependent on experience)

Hours: Full-time (We understand the importance of work-life balance, and are happy to discuss the possibility of flexible working with applicants)

About the Role:

You will be based in the Superconducting Circuits Group within the Research division of NQCC. Using your skills in superconducting quantum devices, you will work on a variety of challenging science and engineering projects to implement and improve superconducting qubit systems. You will develop scalable, flexible and robust quantum computing systems to progress on the NQCC's technology roadmap and support deployment of quantum computing capabilities.

Main Responsibilities:

  1. Design, build and operate superconducting qubit quantum computing systems.
  2. Develop and apply strategies to improve qubit performance, system integration and scaling.
  3. Perform experimental characterisation, calibration, automation and benchmarking of superconducting qubit systems, including analysing and documenting results.
  4. Work with colleagues across the NQCC on the full-stack integration and use of quantum computing systems, as well as collaboration on wider topics in quantum computing.
  5. Perform research relevant to scaling qubit architectures and their supporting technologies, including collaborative research and development with academic and industry partners.
  6. Keep up to date with advances in the field, present and publish non-confidential results.

Person Specification:

We offer significant development opportunities at the NQCC, but as a starting point you should be able to demonstrate some of the following.

  1. PhD-level or equivalent industry research in superconducting quantum devices (relevant experience with other quantum or microwave devices may be considered) (S)
  2. Familiar with experimental laboratory work and operation of a dilution fridge (S)
  3. Experience of device handling & packaging and knowledge of nanofabrication processes (S)
  4. Programming skills for scientific work (e.g. simulations, instrumentation, measurements, data analysis) (S)
  5. Conceptual understanding of superconducting circuits and their use in quantum computing (S&I)
  6. Experience with tools for design and simulation of superconducting circuits - to extract classical microwave properties, quantum properties or simulate quantum dynamics (S&I)
  7. Experience with experimental setups involving cryogenic and RF wiring and equipment (S&I)
  8. Experience of measurement techniques relevant to characterisation and control of superconducting qubits (S&I)
  9. Able to communicate effectively including writing up and presenting scientific results (S&I)
  10. Able to work cross-functionally in a research team and perform collaborative research (I)
  11. A systematic approach to planning independent research work and problem solving (I)
