FCAT Quantum Incubator Summer Internship
Overview
The Fidelity Centre for Applied Technology (FCAT) is seeking a student intern to work with its Quantum Incubator. The internship will focus on the application of quantum computing to the finance sector, and may involve research into the creation of new quantum and quantum-hybrid algorithms, theoretical work on measuring and benchmarking quantum advantage, and the design and programming of experiments to be conducted on quantum annealers, gate-based quantum computers, and/or quantum simulators.
Our projects cover a wide variety of topics, including, quantum optimization, quantum machine learning, post-quantum security, and many other topics in quantum computation that are relevant to FCAT’s mission.
The Expertise and Skills You Bring
* Currently studying towards a Masters or Ph.D. in quantum computing or a related field (computer science, applied math, physics, electrical engineering, or other related science or engineering field) * Experience with quantum algorithms and hybrid classical/quantum computations * Familiarity with quantum computing frameworks such as Qiskit, AWS Braket, Cirq, Pennylane, Ocean.
Internship description
During the 10-week internship (June 6 – Aug 12), you will be working closely with research scientists and software engineers in the Quantum Incubator to research and design proofs of concept and experiments that the quantum incubator might pursue. This may include
* initial project research * regular progress reporting * execution and iteration on quantum hardware and/or simulators * the creation of a summary learnings and recommendations reports and presentation to the team
To apply, please send your resume and any additional materials to Tess Wilde at Tess.Wilde@fmr.commailto:Tess.Wilde@fmr.com
