Intern, System Architecture

The role

This intern will contribute to optical architecture technical projects. Work involves writing prototype software, applying quantum information theory, and simulating protocols to design photonic quantum computers.

What you will do

• Contribute to ongoing optical architecture technical projects
• Write prototype software implementations for controlling and simulating optical networks
• Apply results from quantum information theory, network design and/or optimization to improve optical architecture designs
• Develop and discover new approaches to photonic quantum computing
• Simulate and benchmark different protocols
• Document and communicate results

Required qualifications

• Degree in Physics, Math, Computer Science, Engineering or equivalent
• Currently studying or recently finished a postgraduate degree
• Experience in programming in Python, C++, Julia or similar languages
• Ability to communicate effectively and work closely with others

Nice to have

• PhD preferred
• Competent use of collaborative software development tools (e.g., GitHub) is desirable
• knowledge of quantum optics
• photonic hardware
• switch network design
• optimization
• graph theory

Benefits

• Housing/Commuter Stipend (Variable based on permanent residency location)
