  • MIT Lincoln Laboratory
  • Lexington, MA

Job Description

The mission of the Quantum-Enabled Computation Group is to explore, prototype, and demonstrate transformative computational advantage by leveraging quantized and entangled signals. Our work falls into three key thrusts: quantum computing with superconducting qubits, classical computing with single flux quanta in superconducting circuits, and quantum information science and algorithms. We also enable the broader US research enterprise via superconducting device foundries and open-source software development, and support the US Government as strategic Test and Evaluation partners and subject matter experts. Our interdisciplinary Group includes scientific experts in computer science, quantum information, device theory, materials science, fabrication and integration engineering, electrical and microwave engineering, and quantum physics. 

 

 

Job Description

Our group at MIT Lincoln Laboratory seeks a full-time technical staff member to perform research on advanced modeling and simulation techniques targeted to near-term quantum computing architectures. This position involves working within a team that is building a hierarchical modeling infrastructure that aims to understand the impact of realistic noise sources on the performance of surface code logical qubits.

 

Experience in one or more of the following areas is required for this position:

  • Quantum channels and representation, manipulation, and distance measures for channels that describe quantum dynamical processes in unitary and open quantum systems.
  • Models of noise and error in quantum devices at the device and operator level
  • Simulation methods to include simulation of open quantum systems, non-Markovian noise, and Monte Carlo trajectory methods
  • Methods to optimize simulation codes to include: use of reduced complexity Pauli/Clifford error channels, and advanced computational techniques to parallelize and speedup computational codes.
  • Quantum Characterization Verification & Validation (QCVV)

Requirements

PhD (or a MS and 5+ years experience or BS and 10+ years  experience) in Physics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related field. Must have a strong background in theoretical quantum information science, as well as experience in computational modeling and simulation. The ability to develop software in programming languages such as: C++, Python, Matlab, and/or Mathematica is required. Knowledge of simulation tools such as: STIM, QuTip, etc. is desired. Experience with high-performance and accelerated (GPUs) computing is desired.

 

At MIT Lincoln Laboratory, our exceptional career opportunities include many outstanding benefits to help you stay healthy, feel supported, and enjoy a fulfilling work-life balance. Benefits offered to employees include: 

  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision plans
  • MIT-funded pension
  • Matching 401K
