About The Position
This project will study the performance of the rotated surface code in a distributed quantum computing setting under realistic dynamical noise models using numerical simulations. The student will investigate how time-dependent errors, communication imperfections, and inter-node operations affect syndrome measurements, logical error rates, and decoder performance. The goal is to develop a better understanding of fault-tolerant quantum error correction across distributed quantum processors and identify strategies for improving logical qubit reliability.
Requirements
- Currently enrolled in undergraduate or graduate studies at an accredited institution.
- Graduated from an accredited institution within the past 3 months.
- Actively enrolled in a graduate program at an accredited institution.
- Must be 18 years or older at the time the appointment begins.
- Must possess a cumulative GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.
- Must complete a satisfactory background check.
- All students remain subject to applicable drug testing policies.
- The entirety of the appointment must be conducted within the United States.
