Experimental Physicist (Global Applicants) (13802)
職種Position Control Engineer / Embedded Systems Engineer
会社概要Company profile This is a neutral-atom quantum computing startup founded by researchers from Kyoto University and the Institute for Molecular Science (IMS). We are building a world-class experimental team to deliver our prototype quantum computer by 2027.
仕事内容Job description In this role, you will work at the frontier of neutral-atom quantum hardware — designing and running experiments in laser cooling, optical tweezers, and Rydberg-based quantum gates. You will join a team competing at the global level and contribute directly to making quantum computing a reality.

[Responsibilities]
-Design and conduct experiments on neutral-atom qubit control and manipulation
-Build, align, and optimize laser systems and free-space optical setups
-Operate and maintain ultra-high vacuum (UHV) systems
-Implement quantum gates and improve gate fidelity
-Develop and improve experimental control software
-Publish research results and present at international conferences
-Collaborate closely with theorists and engineers across the team
応募資格Requirement [Required Qualifications]
-PhD in experimental physics (AMO physics, quantum optics, precision measurement, or related field), or equivalent hands-on experience
-Hands-on experience with laser systems and free-space optics (design, alignment, stabilization)
-Practical experience with ultra-high vacuum (UHV) technology
-Experience in experimental control and data analysis using Python or equivalent
-Track record of peer-reviewed publications or international conference presentations

[Preferred Qualifications]
-Direct experience with cold/neutral atoms, trapped ions, or optical lattices
-Experience with Rydberg atom manipulation or optical tweezer arrays
-Knowledge of AOM/EOM, RF systems, and low-noise electronics
-Experience with FPGA or real-time control systems
-Experience in international research environments and English-language publication
-Prior experience in a startup or fast-paced R&D environment
