Research Scientist, Gate Measurement, Quantum AI
About The Position
The Gates team is executing a multipronged research program to reach the fidelities required for long-lived logical qubits. The Research Scientist will identify noise processes through precise error benchmarking and use the results to inform new gate designs and architecture parameters. The role will implement improved error-metrology circuits and cross-validate them with physical models developed by the theory team. It will also conduct detailed architecture analysis and simulations and define hardware requirements for new gate designs in forward-looking architectures. The Research Scientist will collaborate with other research scientists, hardware engineers, and software engineers to advance high-performance quantum computing. Google Quantum AI’s mission is to build a large-scale quantum computer capable of complex, error-corrected computations and to enable solutions to classically intractable problems.
