East Hagbourne, United Kingdom Physics World Full time
About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Quantum Computing Researcher to join our team at Physics World. As a key member of our Superconducting Circuits Group, you will work on a variety of challenging science and engineering projects to implement and improve superconducting qubit systems.

Your primary focus will be on developing scalable, flexible, and robust quantum computing systems to progress on our technology roadmap and support deployment of quantum computing capabilities.

Key areas of focus will include scalable qubit architecture design, high-performance qubit development, wiring and control system integration, noise analysis, and benchmarking.

You will work closely with colleagues across the organization on the full-stack integration and use of quantum computing systems, as well as collaboration on wider topics in quantum computing.

We offer significant development opportunities at Physics World, and as a starting point, you should be able to demonstrate some of the following:

  • PhD-level or equivalent industry research in superconducting quantum devices (relevant experience with other quantum or microwave devices may be considered).
  • Familiarity with experimental laboratory work and operation of a dilution fridge.
  • Experience of device handling & packaging and knowledge of nanofabrication processes.
  • Programming skills for scientific work (e.g. simulations, instrumentation, measurements, data analysis).
  • Able to communicate effectively including writing up and presenting scientific results.
  • Able to work cross-functionally in a research team and perform collaborative research.
  • A systematic approach to planning independent research work and problem solving.
