Description

For quantum computers to be used practically, a large number of qubits need to be controlled with absolute precision and without errors.

This is an extremely difficult task.

The need to calibrate individual qubits, either to maximise fidelity initially or when parameters drift, constitutes a complicated and repetitive process, requiring deep understanding of the set-up and "muscle memory".

You will develop scalable and autonomous calibration frameworks to optimise quantum device performance.

Machine-learning based algorithms will then make an informed decision about the appropriate calibration routine, which will be implemented by a scalable low-level control software platform, portable to different qubit types.
