Company Overview

At Chalmers tekniska högskola, our ambitious goals are to build a quantum computer with 100 superconducting qubits and to apply it to real computational problems that cannot be efficiently solved on a conventional computer.

We have contributed to pioneering research in the field of superconducting quantum circuits since the 1990s and have now developed a functional 25-qubit quantum processor that incorporates 3D integrated flip-chip technology along with other essential components for a superconducting quantum computer.

About the Project

OpenSuperQPlus is a project under the European Quantum Technology Flagship, comprising 28 partners from 10 countries, with the overarching goal of developing a versatile and large-scale quantum computing system manufactured in Europe. The PI for Chalmers is Prof. Jonas Bylander.

Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team in the development of software solutions to meet the goals of the OpenSuperQ+ project.

The successful candidate will be responsible for developing software to enable complex experiments, working closely with the WACQT group on the characterisation of several QPUs, and performing innovative measurements with the latest QPU.

Main Responsibilities

• Develop software solutions to meet the goals of the OpenSuperQ+ project
• Work within the WACQT group on the characterisation of several QPUs
• Perform innovative measurements with the latest QPU

Qualifications

To qualify for the position, you must have a PhD in relevant field of Physics, Computer Science and Engineering or equivalent. Your PhD degree should generally not be older than three years, exceptions from the 3-year limit can be made for longer periods resulting from parental leave, sick leave or military service.

Required Skills

• Good teamwork and communication skills
• Good proficiency in Python
• Experience of measurement with microwave instruments in a cryogenic setup
• Fluency in English, both oral and written

Desirable Skills

• Experience with QBlox and Quantify
• Professional software development skills
• A track record of publications in quantum computing

Salary and Benefits

The salary for this position is estimated at approximately €58,000 - €65,000 per year, depending on experience.

Chalmers offers a range of benefits, including a dynamic and international work environment, opportunities for professional development, and access to state-of-the-art facilities and resources.

What We Offer

As a postdoctoral researcher at Chalmers, you will have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge research projects, collaborate with leading experts in the field, and contribute to the development of a quantum computer with 100 superconducting qubits.

Location

This position is based at Chalmers tekniska högskola in Gothenburg, Sweden.
