Dear CQE Members,

Some of the following Chicago Quantum Exchange corporate partners are soliciting applications for year round and summer 2021 interns. Please find some of these opportunities below. Additional opportunities will be added to the CQE internshiphttps://quantum.uchicago.edu/internships/ webpage and disseminated as they become available:

Applied Materials, Inc., a corporate partner of the Chicago Quantum Exchange, is now accepting applications for a Quantum Computing and Materials Technology Intern for Fall 2020 and beyond.

Applied Materials, Inc., is the leader in materials engineering solutions used to produce virtually every new chip and advanced display in the world. Applied’s expertise in modifying materials at atomic levels and on an industrial scale can help enable technology advancements across a broad range of applications.

The intern will be responsible for kicking off Applied Materials’ technology exploration in the Quantum Computing and Si photonics domains, looking for specific segments and HVPs to target, making predictions about the market. The internship should result in an actionable plan for the Chief Technology Officer team to go-to-market. The internship will take place virtually. Graduate students interested in applying should have a background in physics, computer science, or engineering with some experience in business. Interested candidates should apply by contacting Nir_Yahav@amat.commailto:Nir_Yahav@amat.com.

HRL Laboratories, LLC is a research and development laboratory that specializes in advancing ultra-high-performance circuitry, robust computing and communications, automated data extraction, innovative architected materials, and quantum information technology. Experienced undergraduate and graduate students interested in all areas of quantum information technology are encouraged to apply for an internship at the scenic Malibu laboratory location which originated world-changing inventions such as the self-aligned gate MOSFET (SAGFET) and the laser.

HRL’s internship programhttp://quantum.hrl.com/ is designed to provide students with valuable hands-on technical experience working alongside some of the world’s leading experts in the fields of quantum devices, advanced packaging, high speed electronics, scaled nanotechnologies, and more. Internships are paid, highly technical assignments with year-round availability. Temporary housing and travel/relocation benefits will be provided.

Projects include developing and operating tools to simulate device physics and quantum state evolution, designing software to operate and analyze semiconducting quantum devices, conducting cryogenic measurements of silicon spin qubit devices, working with a team of scientists to build a cutting-edge cryogenic test laboratory, and developing and performing free-space, fiber, and chip-scale quantum optics experiments.

Internships are available throughout the year. CQE students interested in an internship at HRL are encouraged to send an email to quantum@uchicago.edumailto:quantum@uchicago.edu after applying through the HRL Laboratories portalhttp://quantum.hrl.com/ to facilitate the application.

IBM  Quantum  is  now  accepting applications for undergraduate and graduate student researchers, developers, and engineers to become IBM Quantum interns in  2021https://www.ibm.com/quantum-computing/internship/. 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.

IBM Quantum interns 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 Research Intern, you will collaborate with a multi-disciplinary, global team of developers, designers, researchers, and engineers to bring new features to life.

Students at CQE institutions who are interested in an IBM internship should send an email to  quantum@uchicago.edumailto:quantum@uchicago.edu  after and CQE members will help facilitate their application.

JPMorgan Chase is accepting applications through December 6, 2020 for Quantum Computing Summer Associates. JPMorgan Chase’s research technology strategy and direction is oriented through investigation and research of emerging technologies, such as Quantum Computing, Human Machine Interfaces, Virtual and Augmented Reality, Computer Vision and IoT. As a Summer Associate, you will work closely with internal project teams, senior management, and external communities alike to advance these research focus areas in a way that is beneficial to the company’s technical teams. You will cultivate investigations into these areas, produce research solutions in collaboration with the internal project teams, and contribute to the firm’s intellectual property.

Applicants should be Master’s or Ph.D. students in math, physics, engineering, computer science or related fields, have experience with Quantum Computing algorithms and applications, excellent knowledge of Python, experience with AI and/or Optimization, experience in scientific technical writing, as well as grant applications or research proposals, though no prior experience with financial markets required. Interested students can apply on the JPMorgan Chase portalhttps://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/careers.jpmorgan.com/in/en/students/programs/quantum-computing-summer-associate-program__;!!BpyFHLRN4TMTrA!v3vUdi5vz1N6bUqrrDRoadEwktOLui4EIuzhpeBAC-5lrJP6uv4zHL-_G6O2jNyOMW5R$.

Quantum Opus, a corporate partner of the Chicago Quantum Exchange, is now accepting applications for internships. The company, located in Novi, Michigan, develops novel products and services that enable researchers to make single-photon measurements with unmatched sensitivity, speed, and precision. It’s Opus One™ multi-channel near-infrared photon detector system operates with greater than 80 percent detection efficiency.

Interns are desired to improve the company’s low-loss, high-speed photon detectors, superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors, and custom engineering solutions for nanowire response, mid-infrared photon counting, custom cryogenic systems, and integration with waveguides and photonic chips, which will enable next-generation experiments in quantum optics, optical quantum computation, single-photon communication, low-flux biophotonics, and remote sensing.

Interested undergraduate or graduate students should send a resume and cover letter to info@quantumopus.commailto:info@quantumopus.com, explaining why they are interested in working with Quantum Opus, their areas of interest, and their unique expertise.
