Job description
from Google careersAs a Gates Research Scientist, you will work on identifying noise processes through precise error benchmarking and use these results to identify new gate design and architecture parameters. You will implement improved error-metrology circuits and cross-validate them with physical models from the theory team. You will also be responsible for conducting detailed circuit analysis and simulations, and defining hardware requirements of new gate designs for forward-looking architectures.
In this role, you will collaborate with other research scientists, hardware engineers, and software engineers to make high-performance quantum computing a reality.
