Senior Quantum Engineer, Readout
Optimizes superconducting qubit readout and reset on quantum processors, leading measurements, developing techniques, and collaborating on hardware improvements for fault-tolerant systems. Requires PhD in physics/EE plus 2+ years experience in quantum systems and cQED.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead superconducting qubit measurements to characterize dispersive readout of our quantum circuits
- Develop novel measurement techniques and pulse optimizations for readout speed or fidelity, and implement them in Rigetti’s Python-based calibration and characterization software
- Collaborate with theory and simulation teams to build or validate models that describe readout performance
- Specify improvements to the quantum chip layout, signal lines, and electronics, work with the hardware and device design teams to build them
- Develop protocols to accelerate circuit execution and enable error-correcting codes, including reset, mid-circuit measurement, and ancilla readout
Required Qualifications
- Ph.D. in Physics, Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering or a related field, plus 2+ years of industry and/or postdoctoral experience
- Deep expertise in circuit quantum electrodynamics and dispersive readout in particular
- Demonstrated ability to perform measurements on quantum systems and explain the results through theory and/or simulation
- Exposure to superconducting qubits, either in academic or industrial settings
- Experience with software development in an industry setting, in languages such as Python, C, C++, Rust, etc.
- Experience with low-level pulse optimization of quantum gates or readout
- Ability to excel in a collaborative environment
- Excellent communication skills
