Introduction

IBM Quantum is an industry first initiative to build universal quantum computers for business, engineering and science. This effort includes advancing the entire quantum computing technology stack and exploring applications to make quantum broadly usable and accessible. With a worldwide network of Fortune 500 companies, academic institutions, researchers, educators, and enthusiasts, we are committed to driving innovation for our clients in the IBM Q Network and the Qiskit Community.

You will be part of a team whose mission is to prototype, test and release new technologies for the world to use. As an IBM Quantum Engineer, you will collaborate with a multi-disciplinary, global team of developers, designers, researchers, and engineers to bring new features to life. If you are self-motivated, curious and love to code, we have the right opportunity for you!

Your Role and Responsibilities

IBM has joined with Princeton University to create Quantum Undergraduate Research at IBM and Princeton (QURIP). QURIP is a unique summer undergraduate research program that combines academic research in quantum science and engineering at Princeton with industry experience at IBM Q in Yorktown Heights, NY.

Through this program, you can apply to work with any group at quantum.princeton.edu for the first 6 weeks of the assignment in Princeton, NJ. These groups span a wide range of disciplines, from quantum materials, condensed matter physics, and atomic physics to quantum information, algorithms, and architecture. During the next 4 weeks, you will work with the Quantum Computing group at IBM Q on cutting-edge translational research at IBM's T. J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, NY. You will learn and engage in multiple projects, ranging from Qiskit compiler challenges on 5Q, and 16Q quantum computers, learning depths of Qiskit open source software as well as many quantum computing-related hardware designs.

This fast-paced, intensive, highly-selective program will also feature seminars and research exchanges among the whole quantum research community at Princeton and IBM, creating a unique interdisciplinary community at the cutting edge of quantum research.

Candidates pursuing a bachelor's degree in physics, engineering or a related area are preferred.

Program dates; six weeks: July 19 - August 27 OR July 26 - September 3 (depending on your academic calendar)
