Experimental Quantum Physicist

Overview

We are seeking an experimental physicist with strong hands-on experience in atomic, optical, or quantum systems to help build and operate advanced experimental platforms. You will work directly with precision hardware for qubit control, measurement, and system scaling, contributing to the development of next-generation quantum technologies. This is a lab-focused role for someone who enjoys designing experiments, troubleshooting complex setups, and collaborating across disciplines to turn ideas into working systems.

• Design, build, and characterize optical, vacuum, and/or cryogenic experimental systems
• Implement protocols for qubit preparation, control, and readout
• Integrate lasers, RF/microwave systems, control electronics, and data acquisition
• Analyze experimental data and optimize performance and stability
• Troubleshoot hardware and control issues across the full experimental stack
• Collaborate with engineers and scientists to inform system design and scaling

• Ph.D. in Physics, Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering, or related field
• Hands-on experience with experimental quantum systems (AMO, solid-state, or superconducting)
• Familiarity with qubit control, spectroscopy, or precision measurement
• Strong experimental problem-solving skills
• Experience using Python or similar tools for experiment control and analysis
• A collaborative mindset and clear communication skills
