Remote AMO & Quantum Information Scientist

name; United States; Remote; USD 83,000 - 165,000; Full time

Job summary

micro1 seeks a Physics Expert (AMO / Quantum Information) for a remote contractor role to advance a research-focused project. You will contribute domain knowledge to train next-generation AI systems, benchmarking quantum optics concepts under realistic loss and entanglement conditions.

The role involves analyzing cascaded parametric amplifiers, interferometers, and loss models, with emphasis on Bogoliubov and covariance-matrix methods, and homodyne-based spectra.

Qualifications

• PhD or equivalent in AMO/Quantum Information required.
• Expertise with Bogoliubov transformations and covariance-matrix formalism.
• Experience with sideband spectra and homodyne detection.

Responsibilities

• Analyze cascaded optical parametric amplifiers and SU(1,1) interferometric systems under loss.
• Apply Bogoliubov transformations and covariance-matrix techniques to quantify quantum correlations and noise.
• Derive and interpret sideband photocurrent spectra using homodyne detection methodologies.
• Model loss mechanisms with fictitious beamsplitters and benchmark against theory/experiment.
• Characterize entanglement and squeezing using squeeze-parameter identities in lossy systems.
