Description
Universal Quantum is hiring an Atomic Operations Designer to design, model, and characterize atom-light operations for trapped-ion quantum computers, including cooling, state preparation and detection, and quantum gates. The role involves developing physics models of atom-light interactions, collaborating with hardware and experimental research teams to implement methods on devices, and analyzing experimental results against model predictions. Applicants must have a PhD in atomic physics, experience designing atom-light interaction protocols, strong atomic physics research experience, scientific programming skills such as Python, published research, and strong communication skills. Experience in quantum technologies and open quantum-system modeling is preferred. The position offers flexible working, private health and dental insurance, pension matching, equity, development funding, and relocation support.
