Role

Who you are

We welcome applicants from a diverse set of backgrounds, but are specifically interested in candidates with experience in the following fields:
Trapping and manipulation of cold atoms; Coherent control of quantum systems (for example: neutral atoms, trapped ions, NV- centers, nuclear magnetic resonance, superconducting qubits); Quantum characterization, verification, and validation (QCVV) techniques
PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, or a related field
Temperamentally suited to work at a fast-growing, early stage startup: self-motivated, humble, driven, collaborative, and has a high tolerance for ambiguity and uncertainty
Ability to effectively communicate and collaborate with a diverse team of experimental physicists, hardware, and software engineers
Definite pluses: Familiarity with Python and Git software version control
Capable of lifting and moving objects that weigh up to 25 pounds

What the job involves

We are looking for Quantum Engineers to work on all aspects of neutral atom quantum computing
As a Quantum Engineer at Atom Computing, you will join a team of talented scientists and engineers who are working to translate fundamental atomic physics to a scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computer
Design and construct the scientific hardware and control interfaces (both hardware and software) that are the essential backbone of the quantum computing platform
Requires extensive knowledge of the state-of-the-art techniques used in atomic physics and quantum computing research, and a deep understanding of the fundamental interactions between light and matter

Our take

Quantum computers are largely defined by their qubit type and coherence times. Atom Computing creates spin qubits by using the neutral atom Strontium-87, which, in one of its nuclear spin states, can coherently remain in that state for a very long time, allowing computers to run deeper quantum circuits.

Qubits are fragile and susceptible to errors, but the company’s unique system yields a record-setting coherence time of 40 seconds which is monumentally faster than other systems, allowing more time for quantum error correction research to detect and correct errors without completely degrading purposeful computation.

The company raised $60 million of capital in its 2022 Series B round, and is well positioned to provide the leading quantum computing power behind life-changing breakthroughs.
