The Israeli Quantum Computing Center (IQCC) is a cutting-edge national facility supporting quantum computing research and development for both academia and industry. The IQCC is managed and operated by Quantum Machines (QM), the global leader in quantum computing control systems. Our state-of-the-art lab includes advanced infrastructure with several dilution refrigerators and a wide array of quantum and classical devices.  

The IQCC offers unique opportunities for talented PhD students seeking an internship opportunity at a world-class facility.

We are looking for brilliant, versatile, and fast-learning interns with a strong can-do attitude to become a part of the core IQCC team, working on a quantum computer with 20+ superconducting qubits, assisting in its calibration, integration and assembly, through QM’s OPX1000 control platform. They will gain unique experience with the world’s top cryogenic systems and participate in cutting edge research projects with the leaders of industry and academia. The ideal candidate should have experience working with quantum systems and should be ready to move to Israel to work on-site in the IQCC for a period of at least 6 months. 

 Responsibilities: 

• Support the calibration and optimization of superconducting qubits chip.
• Participate in research projects that aim to develop new calibration protocols for faster and higher quality quantum gates. 
• Gain a deep understanding of our state-of-the-art quantum control system. 
• Oversee normal operation and function of dilution fridges. 
• Support hardware installations. 
• Support users using the open cryogenic testbed.  
• Assist in the day-to-day operation of the lab. 

Requirements: 

• MSc in experimental physics or related field – Must 
• Experience working with cryogenic systems in a physics lab – Must 
• Willingness to move to Israel for more than three months, preferably six months – Must 
• Experience working with Quantum Machines’ OPX – advantage 
• Experience working with superconducting or spin qubits – advantage 
• More than one year into a PhD in experimental physics or related field – advantage 
• Great interpersonal skills
