About this role

Quantum Applied Scientist, Device and Architecture Theory, Center for Quantum Computing Pasadena, California, USA The Amazon Center for Quantum Computing (CQC) is a multi-disciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and technicians on a mission to develop a fault-tolerant quantum computer. As a Quantum Applied Scientist on our Device and Architecture Theory team, you will focus on the theory and modeling of our superconducting qubit processors. You will work closely with our measurement, design, and calibration teams to interpret experimental results, inform new processor designs, and optimize device performance. You will also conduct pathfinding research to guide the development of next-generation processors, focusing on device-level physics, novel qubits and gate schemes, and implementations of error correcting codes. We are looking for candidates with excellent problem-solving and communication skills, and with a genuine passion for applied, collaborative work. Key job responsibilities - Develop theoretical and numerical models of superconducting qubit processors, working across theory, measurement, design, and calibration teams to validate predictions and translate modeling insights into device improvements - Conduct pathfinding research on novel qubit designs, gate schemes, and processor architectures to push the performance of next-generation devices - Communicate scientific findings across the CQC, and, when appropriate, share results externally via conference presentations and publications in scientific journals - Stay abreast of new research developments in the field of quantum computation About the team The Amazon Center for Quantum Computing (CQC) is a multi-disciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and technicians, on a mission to develop a fault-tolerant quantum computer. Inclusive Team
