Quantum Physicist
The mission of NIST's Nanoscale Device Characterization Division is to develop and advance the measurement and knowledge infrastructure to characterize nano- and atom-scale engineered materials and solid-state devices for innovation in information processing, sensing, and future quantum technologies. If hired as a Quantum Physicist in their Atom Scale Device Group, you will:
- Develop and apply scanning tunneling microscopy methods to fabricate atom-scale solid-state quantum devices for evaluation in quantum computing and simulation.
- Conduct low-temperature electrical and physical measurements to evaluate and characterize the behavior and performance of fabricated quantum devices.
- Design and refine specialized tools, methodologies, and experimental protocols to optimize device fabrication yield, reproducibility, and operational performance.
- Research, interpret, and apply scientific literature precedents and guiding physical principles to analyze device data and resolve complex technical obstacles.
- Plan and execute complex experimental tasks with limited supervision, collaborating within a multidisciplinary team to advance major goals in quantum information science.
