Optical Physicist

Optical Physicist at Atom Computing, Boulder, CO. A mid-level full time position in the Quantum Engineering team, listed under research.

At Atom Computing, we build quantum computers using arrays of optically trapped neutral atoms that will empower customers to achieve unprecedented computational breakthroughs. Join a world-class team of scientists, engineers, and business professionals to advance the state-of-the-art in quantum computing. We are seeking an Optical Physicist to develop the next generation of optical devices required to scale our quantum computers. In this role, you will conceptualize, model, and prototype optical devices with fundamentally new modes of operation.

Working with a talented team of engineers, you will rigorously qualify these devices and integrate them into state-of-the-art quantum computers. This position is tailored for PhD-level physicists or optical scientists focused on optoelectronics, optical cavities and modulators, and laser physics. Prior experience in neutral atom trapping or cold atom physics is not required.
