In this role, you will become a part of the ongoing hardware or software research and development needed to operate our superconducting quantum processors. This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of experimental physics, software development and quantum hardware engineering. You will collaborate with seasoned engineers and researchers while gaining valuable industry experience and contributing to impactful work that drives the future of quantum computing.We are looking for interns who relate to one of the directions we investigate, and want to develop themselves in one of the tracks below:becoming an expert in experimental quantum physics (experimental focus)writing great software for controlling quantum computers (backend software and numerics focus)visualizing complex data and making graphical user-interfaces (frontend software focus).For all tracks, your work will contribute to the experimental and numerical studies aimed at boosting the performance of IQM’s quantum processors with the possibility of the involvement in deep research work and scientific publications.If you choose the experimental focus, you will be learning the latest techniques for characterization, calibration, and fidelity measurement of single- and two-qubit gates, the fundamental operations building up quantum algorithms.Within the backend software focus, you will master the development and testing of software tools which enable our research and development workflow, and you will contribute to the closer integration and application of numerical simulations in experimental workflows.Within the frontend software track, you will build our internal tools to report on data generated by quantum experiments, and you will learn the efficient visualization and analysis of large scientific datasets.
