Internship - Quantum Applications Research
About The Position
QuEra Computing Inc. seeks a Quantum Applications Research Intern to join our growing team of scientists and engineers developing quantum applications for QuEra's neutral atom quantum computers. As an intern, you will collaborate with leading experts in quantum information and AMO physics to explore, model, and test new approaches for using neutral atoms in quantum simulation and computation. This role offers an exceptional opportunity to gain hands-on experience at the intersection of theory and hardware, contributing directly to the advancement of scalable quantum computing. Possible internship projects include development of hardware efficient approaches for the quantum simulation of strongly correlated fermionic problems with physical and logical qubits, quantum dynamics of strongly correlated systems or the development of scalable resource estimation tools for complex quantum workloads such as cryptanalysis. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, and those received before Dec. 15, 2025 are guaranteed full consideration.
Requirements
