Salary: £22,096
Hours: Full time
Contract Type: Fixed Term
Location: Science and Technology Facilities Council, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Harwell, Oxfordshire
The NQCC is the UK’s national centre for quantum computing, dedicated to accelerating its development by addressing the challenges of scaling up the technology. Our vision is to enable the UK to solve some of the most complex and challenging problems facing society by harnessing the potential of quantum computing. The centre is working with businesses, the government, and the research community to deliver quantum computing capabilities for the UK and support the growth of the emerging industry.
The NQCC’s programme represents a £93m investment and is being delivered jointly by the research councils, EPSRC and STFC, as part of UK Research and Innovation. The centre is headquartered within STFC’s Rutherford Appleton Laboratory site at the Harwell Campus in Oxfordshire.
There is an opportunity to join the NQCC Neutral Atom Quantum Computing (TAQC) team to undertake a 12-week placement during summer 2025. Our team works to support UK development of quantum computing resources based on neutral atoms, developing and deploying robust and re-usable quantum computing platforms to support our technology roadmap, build scalable quantum computing capabilities and make progress against the NQCC technology roadmap.
During this summer placement you will work alongside experienced atomic, molecular and optical (AMO) and senior AMO physicists to support the design, construction and benchmarking of an experimental TAQC platform within a lab environment.
The wide range of activities undertaken by our team offers many opportunities for engaging and exciting work. This studentship role will center on supporting the experimental and theoretical teams to design, build and characterize cutting-edge experimental tweezer array quantum computing hardware in our world-class laboratory facilities, tackling problems that span physics and engineering. During this studentship, you will undertake a 12-week project that will include the opportunity to work across one or more of the following areas:
Theoretical projects to benchmark or enhance TAQC performance.
This is a fantastic opportunity for students who enjoy working well individually, collaborating with a team, and interested in quantum science and technology!
