Job 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 prototypestate-of-the-artmethods 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 learningdriven 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
- 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.
- Experience with quantum control stacks or real-time control systems.
- Familiarity with fault-tolerant protocols logical qubit architectures or quantum error correction frameworks.
- Experience with performance-sensitive low-latency or distributed systems.
- Aware of advances in fault-tolerant quantum computing in-the-loop control and ML-driven control strategies.
