Postdoctoral Fellow - Applied Machine Learning in Quantum Systems
Location: Boston, MA USA
Department: Quantum Systems
This role focuses on developing computational methods for in-the-loop stabilization of neutral atom Logical Quantum Processing Units (LQPUs). The position sits at the interface of quantum hardware and control systems, supporting both near-term experimental performance and the long-term development of control architectures for stable, fault-tolerant computing.
The successful candidate will design and prototype state-of-the-art methods to enable reliable quantum operations and translate device measurements into actionable control feedback. Responsibilities include advancing capabilities such as measurement-informed feedback control and machine learning–driven inference.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and deploy machine learning models for high-fidelity quantum operation inference and control prediction.
- Design and prototype in-the-loop control mechanisms that adapt sequences based on measurement outcomes and system state.
- Collaborate with physics, quantum error-correction, hardware, and control teams to validate new stack components using experimental data and system-level performance
- Ph.D. or equivalent experience in Physics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, with a strong background in quantum computing or quantum physics.
- Experience working with quantum computing platforms (neutral atoms, trapped ions, superconducting qubits, or similar).
- Demonstrated experience working with Machine Learning for inference and hardware in loop.
- Strong programming skills in Python, C++, or similar languages.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to take technical ownership.
- Effective communication skills and the ability to collaborate across physics, engineering, and software teams.
- Proficiency with Git and modern collaborative development workflows.
- Track record of publications or significant technical contributions in relevant areas.
- Experience with quantum control stacks or real-time control systems.
- Familiarity with fault-tolerant protocols, logical qubit architectures, or quantum error correction frameworks.
- Experience with performance-sensitive, low-latency, or distributed systems.
- Aware of advances in fault-tolerant quantum computing, in-the-loop control, and ML-driven control strategies.
The approximate base salary range for this position is $110,000-$120,000.
We consistently monitor external market data and update base salary ranges accordingly. We determine base compensation decisions on several factors, including as geographic placement, role-specific knowledge, skills, and/or experience. In addition to our base salary offerings, we also provide equity grants for all new hires.
