Theoretical Physicist Postdoc for Distributed Quantum Computing

A recently funded collaborative project between the ESnet division of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) and QuEra Computing is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to explore a novel optical interconnect approach for distributed quantum computing with neutral atoms. This research aims to integrate atomic ensemble qubits into optical tweezer arrays of single atoms, enabling quantum networking between state-of-the-art quantum processors and paving the way for scalable quantum computers.

This project will involve theoretical and numerical analysis of Rydberg mediated interactions of a single atom with a micro-ensemble of atoms that can be used to collectively emit and store single photons for high-rate, high fidelity remote entanglement without the need of optical resonators. As a Postdoc on this project, you will play a central role in advancing this cutting-edge research and collaborate closely with researchers and engineers from both the ESnet and QuEr...
