Quantum Researcher (Experimental)

Overview

Lead the development of the next-generation ion trap quantum computers and foundational technologies that will enable truly scalable and practical quantum computing. We are looking for AMO experimentalists with skills in operating lasers, optics, UHV systems and electronics, and with knowledge in cavity QED and quantum optics theory. In addition, researchers with expertise in microfabrication, integrated photonics and MEMS are highly valued.
