About the job
As a Research Scientist, your primary focus will be performing millikelvin measurements of superconducting circuits for quantum computing which includes calibration of superconducting qubit gates, readout, and flux pulses using both room temperature electronics and cryogenically located electronics. You will be in tight collaboration with qubit designers, fabrication engineers and other measurement engineers to maximize device performance, reduce crosstalk, improve gate fidelities, and improve future designs devices. You will work on building a fully integrated, modular chip stack that combines superconducting qubits with their control electronics directly within the cryogenic environment, accelerating the path towards error-corrected quantum computers.As a Research Scientist, your primary focus will be performing millikelvin measurements of superconducting circuits for quantum computing which includes calibration of superconducting qubit gates, readout, and flux pulses using both room temperature electronics and cryogenically located electronics.
