Offer Description
We invite applications a WACQT summer intern to work on Automatic Calibration of a Quantum Processor. You will work in the stimulating research environment of the Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology (WACQT), a 12-year initiative started in 2018 with the purpose of advancing Swedish academia and industry to the forefront of quantum technology. The core project of the centre is to build a quantum computer based on superconducting circuits. You will be part of the Quantum Technology Laboratory (QTL) within the Microtechnology and Nanoscience (MC2) department , working in a large team of PhDs, postdocs and researchers. You will have access to state-of-the-art measurement laboratories for superconducting quantum devices.
The Quantum Technology Laboratory (QTL) at Chalmers is currently working on the experimental characterization of a 25 qubits quantum processor, with the aim of being able to run complex quantum algorithms on it soon. To perform any computation, we use electrical signals that control, manipulate and measure the state of each qubit in the quantum processor. To carry out an operation on a qubit, we need to precisely know the relevant signal parameters, for example its frequency, or the appropriate amplitude and duration of the signal for each particular operation. The calibration of these parameters is achieved by a sequence of measurements, chained one after the other, while in between a mathematical analysis extracts the relevant parameter.
Contract terms
Temporary employment, 10 weeks.
This is a paid internship.
Qualifications
Essential:
• Bachelor deegree in Physics, Applied Physics, Nanotechnology, or equivalent.
• Good verbal and written communication skills in English
• Ability to program in high-level languages such as Python or C
You have a collaborative attitude and an interest in working both independently and collaboratively in a team environment, sharing best practices and assuming responsibility. You are self-motivated, pay attention to detail, and possess a problem-solving analytical ability.
Desirable:
• You have taken courses on Quantum Physics.
• The ideal candidate has expertise in some of the following: design and fabrication of superconducting circuits, experimental quantum computing, microwave quantum optics, or related fields in experi-mental physics
• You have some experience from working on quantum computing
