Job Description:
PsiQuantum is on a mission to build the world's first fault
tolerant quantum computer capable of tackling today's most
intractable computational challenges to deliver transformative
results. - - - We know that means it will need roughly 1 million
qubits and will be building scale in size. -
Quantum computing is expected to deliver breakthroughs for today's
still impossible computational tasks. By harnessing the laws of
quantum physics, quantum computers can provide exponential
performance increases over even the most powerful of today's
conventional supercomputers offering the potential for
extraordinary advances across a broad range of applications
including climate, energy, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, finance,
agriculture, transportation, materials design, and many more. -
PsiQuantum is uniquely positioned to deliver on the promise of
quantum computing. Our architecture is based on photonics which
gives us the ability to produce our components using high-volume
semiconductor manufacturing processes, the same processes that have
been applied in telecommunications and data center applications for
decades. - Since photons don't feel heat, we can take advantage of
existing cryogenic cooling systems, the kind that have been
operating at facilities like Stanford Linear Accelerator (SLAC)
since 2018. - And because photons are basically light, they can
move between subsystems using standard fiber connectivity, without
the need for transduction in and out. -
Our team is working across the full stack of quantum computing,
from quantum architecture to photonic chip manufacturing, advanced
opto-electronic packaging, hardware systems design, quantum
algorithms and software tools, and cryogenic cooling. - - We're a
highly motivated and collaborative group focused on a singular goal
- building the world's first Fault Tolerant Quantum Computer on the
fastest path possible. -
There's more work to be done and we are looking for exceptional
talent to join us on this extraordinary journey! -
Job Summary:
Thinking of combining your vast machine learning expertise with
real-world physics and chemistry problems that can be used to
facilitate building more efficient energy materials, green
chemistry solutions, and tackle challenges related to climate
change? In this role you will use your machine learning expertise
to create solutions in materials informatics, working in a
cross-disciplinary team and learning more about important topics in
condensed matter physics and computational physics and chemistry.
As a Quantum Solutions Machine Learning Intern, you will be working
with a group of computational materials physicists/chemists,
quantum information scientists, as well as materials informatics
experts to create machine learning models that can connect
micro-observables and molecular/atomistic fingerprints generated by
quantum computers to materials discovery pipelines and help develop
better energy materials. You will be a source of knowledge for
technical aspects of a wide range of machine learning
methodologies, and participate in group problem solving with
computational physicists/chemists and quantum information
scientists.
This role will be ideal for a PhD candidate in computer science (or
related field) in their last year of graduate studies who has had
some exposure to physics and chemistry topics (e.g., through
college-level courses). Alternatively, a physics, chemistry or
materials science PhD candidate in their last year of graduate
studies who has spent the majority of their time on building
machine learning models, and not only can use specific machine
learning models, but also understands them in a deep fundamental
level. A curious creative thinker with a bird's eye view over a
vast array of machine learning algorithms, with experience in
enhancing some of these algorithms, or applying them to various
large and small datasets. For computer science students, previous
knowledge of quantum physics and chemistry, or quantum information
is a plus, but not required. Only passion to learn about them as
much as needed.
