Title |
Research and development on quantum hardware |
| Job Summary and Essential/Desirable Skills and Experience |
We are looking for researchers who will promote research and development of hardware technologies used in quantum computers, quantum sensors, and quantum photonics (high-frequency materials, device development, component material evaluation, development of systems including refrigerators, etc., as well as material development and low-temperature characterization that contribute to the development of these components). In recruitment, regardless of the field of expertise, we emphasize the willingness to actively absorb knowledge and technology from other fields, and to promote integrated research and development, industry-academia collaboration, international collaboration, and challenging research and development across technical fields. In addition, we will deploy the research results of quantum technology that take advantage of our own characteristics in AIST, and emphasize the willingness to connect them to the social implementation of quantum technology, and the ability to actively collaborate with companies and academia.
We also welcome those who do not have a doctoral degree but who are motivated to utilize their practical experience at a company for the social implementation of AIST's R&D. |
