Experimental Physicist Opportunity at D-Wave Quantum Inc.

We are seeking a highly skilled Experimental Physicist to join our Processor Development team at D-Wave Quantum Inc. As a key member of our team, you will contribute to our understanding of sources of noise and decoherence in our quantum processors through careful measurement of superconducting qubits.

About the Role:
  • Create and execute experimental procedures, analysis routines, and noise models to characterize and understand coherence in superconducting qubits.
  • Propose and develop parametric designs, materials changes, and/or experimental methodologies to improve coherence and thereby processor performance.
  • Investigate and diagnose interactions between superconducting circuits, IO, electronics, cryogenic elements, etc. that impact noise performance.
  • Share your results and ideas with the broader PD team through regular and clear documentation.
  • Create and contribute to Lisp software infrastructure for modeling, calibrating, and operating qubits and processors.
About You:
  • Ph.D. or M.Sc in physics or a related discipline, or equivalent experimental research experience.
  • Background in quantum information, control of quantum systems, or magnetic resonance methods (such as NMR or ESR).
  • Strong critical thinking and technical problem-solving ability.
  • Curiosity and persistence that enable you to learn new technical topics in depth, as evidenced by a deep understanding of your existing area(s) of expertise.
  • Strong experience with software in the context of a physical lab – particularly in writing code to control experiments; software engineering skills would be an asset.
  • A collaborative mindset and a demonstrated ability to work effectively on an interdisciplinary team and take shared accountability for its success.
  • Excellent communication skills and experience with summarizing technical information for a broad audience.
  • Ability to adapt to shifting priorities in a time-sensitive environment, while maintaining focus on challenging problems.
  • Exceptional candidates will have a solid background in one or more of the following: superconducting devices, device physics, device manufacturing, noise models, and characterization.

Compensation: $95,000 - $150,000 a year
