As a Staff Research Scientist in Superconducting Qubit Theory, you will join the team focused on developing theoretical models and simulations to drive the design and operations of IBM Quantum processors. You will be responsible for modeling novel superconducting qubit devices by applying expertise in black-box quantization, network synthesis, and matrix product states. Your daily work involves building advanced models to identify emerging error mechanisms, simulating large and complex multi-qubit systems, and uncovering physical processes that limit device performance. To succeed, you must possess a PhD in physics or electrical engineering and experience in superconducting qubit theory and numerical methods for large Hilbert space simulations. You will collaborate closely with experimental teams to connect theory and measurement, ultimately providing the insights necessary to improve qubits and shape the next generation of quantum hardware.
