Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada D-Wave Quantum Inc. Full time

D-Wave Quantum Inc. is a leader in the development and delivery of quantum computing systems, software, and services. We are seeking a highly skilled Experimental Physicist to join our Processor Development (PD) team.

The PD team is composed of experienced designers, engineers, software developers, and physicists who work together to create the processors at the heart of our quantum computer. In this challenging position, you will experimentally characterize noise in our superconducting qubits through various measurements, with the goal of improving real-world performance.

You will work closely with our fabrication, design, and calibration teams to understand the impact of different materials, processes, inputs, and design elements on various sources of noise. Your task will be to develop and propose experiments to test hypotheses and improve processor operation.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Developing experimental procedures to quantify, understand, and operate a wide range of superconducting devices
  • Coming up with new ideas to improve processor performance and developing parametric designs to implement them
  • Developing theoretical models and simulations to represent and understand experimental results on physical devices
  • Creating analysis routines to fit theoretical models to data and detect outlier behavior in complex systems of superconducting devices
  • Regularly documenting experimental results for the broader processor development team
  • Contributing to LISP software infrastructure for modeling, calibrating, and operating processors

To succeed in this role, you should have a strong background in physics or a related discipline, as well as excellent critical thinking and technical problem-solving skills. Experience in independent research and deep understanding in your area of expertise are also essential.

In addition to base salary, this role is eligible to participate in an Annual Incentive Plan (Bonus plan), equity grants and programs, PTO, and a comprehensive benefit package including medical, dental, vision, life and AD&D insurance, STD, LTD, and Travel Insurance.
