- Expertise with Python programming language for scientific computing.
- Experience modelling real quantum experiments/hardware and working closely with both theoretical and experimental teams.
- Experience with version control e.g. Git with CI/CD pipelines.
- Demonstrated experience in improving experimental outcomes through novel signal processing or denoising algorithms.
Full job description
About the team
Q-CTRL’s Quantum Sensing Research team performs basic and applied research in quantum sensing and quantum-enabled navigation. It is a highly dynamic team comprising approximately 30 specialists in theoretical and experimental atomic physics, cold-atom interferometry, navigation modeling, and modern Bayesian estimation and signal processing techniques.
The Quantum Sensing Research and Quantum Sensing R&D teams work closely together, translating novel quantum sensing research into a useful capability and product. We are focussed on pushing the boundary of what is possible in quantum sensing and ensuring our R&D has real-world impact.
About the role
This opportunity will focus on developing next-generation, small-form-factor quantum magnetometers that are both exquisitely sensitive and able to operate reliably in harsh fielded environments.
To do this, you will design novel quantum control schemes and software-layer controls for optically pumped atomic magnetometers. You will also implement advanced statistical filtering techniques allowing performance improvements in noisy operating environments.
The algorithms, signal processing, and data analytics developed by you and the rest of the team will inform the design, build, and operation of our quantum sensors. In all cases, a major focus is on real-world performance in real-world environments.
