We are seeking a highly qualified Hardware Researcher to join our team building, maintaining, developing, and operating a trapped ion quantum computer at RIKEN's Wako campus. This machine will be part of a Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry project to explore the integrated use of quantum computers and classical supercomputers, such as RIKEN's Fugaku device. The ideal candidate will have a broad and deep understanding of quantum computing, atomic physics, and / or technical operations and experience operating a quantum computer or similarly complex system or apparatus as part of a small team with global support. Our team is leading the development, integration, and operation of quantum computing systems at Quantinuum. We are looking for Hardware Researcher with hands-on experience building and operating devices to manipulate qubit quantum spin systems, or cold and trapped atomic systems. You will also have excellent communication and collaboration skills as you will be working with teams of engineers and other scientists to develop and test new concepts.

主な業務内容 / Key Responsibilities

• 小規模チームの一員として、イオントラップ型量子コンピュータの運用・保守・開発・アップグレードを担当
• 量子コンピュータの性能を評価し、その結果に基づき運用および開発計画を立案・実行
• これまでの実験的研究の経験を活かし、イオントラップ量子ビットを用いた量子コンピュータの設計、開発、検証、実装を担当
• Operate, maintain, develop, and upgrade the H1-series quantum computer as part of a small team
• Characterize the performance of a quantum computer to conceptualize and execute operations and development plans for improving it
• Apply previous experience in experimental laboratory research to design, develop, verify, and deploy quantum computers using trapped ions as qubits.

必須要件 / Requirement

• 博士号（物理学、工学、コンピュータサイエンス、または関連する技術分野）
• 量子スピン系、イオントラップまたは中性原子系を制御する装置の構築・運用に関するハンズオンの経験
• 英語および日本語で、技術的な内容を読み書きし、口頭で説明できる能力
