Staff Experimental Physicist (Fluxonium Development) (Burnaby)

About the role

We are looking for a creative, energetic, and driven Staff Experimental Physicist to join our Processor Development (PD) team. The PD team is composed of experienced and talented superconducting designers, fabrication engineers, software developers, and physicists who work together to create the processors at the heart of our quantum computers and are constantly pushing the boundaries of the technology of the future. Responsibilities

Lead experimental characterization of fluxonium qubits and processor components through quantitative modeling and data-driven analysis. Investigate and understand decoherence and noise mechanisms, and propose improvements in device design and cryogenic operation to mitigate them. Develop, calibrate, and validate high fidelity single qubit and two qubit gates, reset and readout, using standard and novel benchmarking protocols. Develop error mitigation and performance improvement strategies. Diagnose scaling limitations to su...
