NONDUKE STUDENT/INTERN, DUKE QUANTUM CENTER-PRATT SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING

Duke University:

Duke University was created in 1924 through an indenture of trust by James Buchanan Duke. Today, Duke is regarded as one of America’s leading research universities. Located in Durham, North Carolina, Duke is positioned in the heart of the Research Triangle, which is ranked annually as one of the best places in the country to work and live. Duke has more than 15,000 students who study and conduct research in its 10 undergraduate, graduate and professional schools. With about 40,000 employees, Duke is the third largest private employer in North Carolina, and it now has international programs in more than 150 countries.

The Duke Quantum Center is a unique "vertical" quantum institute that conducts research on the entire stack of a quantum information system. We've pioneered the world's leading quantum information processing architecture, so rather than focusing solely on theoretical questions or experimental research with quantum components, we're co-designing the entire quantum information stack, from qubit components and control of entangling operations up to applications and algorithms - plus everything in between.

Work Performed:

This position provides a unique opportunity to work with postdocs and graduate students on the development of new methods for quantum error correction.

Quantum error correction is theorised as essential to achieve fault tolerant quantum computing that can reduce the effects of noise on stored quantum information, faulty quantum gates, faulty quantum preparation, and faulty measurements.

Education:

Applicants should have or be pursuing a Bachelor's degree in computer science, electrical engineering, physics, or a related discipline. Applicant must have knowledge about quantum error correction.

Trustworthiness, respect, diversity, learning and teamwork are the hallmarks of Duke's guiding principles. Our accomplishments are dependent on the dedication and expertise of all who work to support Duke's mission.
