Job Description:

   

The Emergent Machine Intelligence Team at Hewlett-Packard Labs is currently seeking highly qualified, self-motivated interns to accelerate research towards new applications, core methodologies and technologies. The main research topic is at the interface of quantum computing, statistical physics, machine learning, and high-performance computing with the long-term goal of designing and implementing novel quantum algorithms and accelerators for efficient quantum simulation and quantum machine learning on quantum data. 

 

Hewlett Packard Labs is an international research organization with its headquarters and largest facility located in Milpitas, California. As the central research organization for Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), Hewlett Packard Labs' purpose is to deliver breakthrough technologies and technology advancements that provide a competitive advantage for the company, by investing in fundamental science and technology in areas of interest to HPE and getting the resulting technologies ready for adoption into new and existing markets. 

 

Our research positions offer competitive salaries and benefits for qualified candidates. The ideal candidate can thrive in an applied research environment, balancing significant technical and scientific contributions with the ability to bring such contributions to practice through innovative solutions that address the needs of our customers and partners. We expect the successful candidate to collaborate with Hewlett Packard Labs research teams and to work in alignment with HPE's broader innovation community. 

 

We are looking for candidates who are working towards a PhD degree in Physics, Quantum Chemistry, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics or a related field. The ideal candidate will have theoretical/computational research experience in the areas of quantum computing, statistical physics, or machine learning. Applicants should be comfortable working in a strongly collaborative and multidisciplinary industrial basic research environment. 

 

*Hiring for multiple positions*

Required skills and experiences: 

·       Pursuing PhD in computational physics, quantum chemistry, quantum computing or related field 

·       Proficiency in Python and C/C++ 

·       Familiarity with quantum computing packages e.g. Qiskit and/or quantum circuit simulation 

·       Familiarity with quantum algorithms

Project description: 
For quantum computing to reach utility-scale, tight integration of quantum processing units (QPUs) within HPC infrastructures will be necessary. An outstanding problem in this area is how to efficiently partition and distribute quantum workloads among multiple QPUs, as the number of qubits for interesting applications far exceeds what will fit on a single (even futuristic) QPU. Our team is developing novel dynamical circuit knitting methods to efficiently partition quantum circuits. As a research intern, you will aid in the development, implementation, and testing of these methods at HPC-scale. You will work closely with a multidisciplinary team of engineers and researchers to develop a crucial element of HPE's strategy on quantum computing. 

Additional Skills:

Accountability, Accountability, Action Planning, Active Learning (Inactive), Active Listening, Bias, Business, Calendar Management, Coaching, Computer Literacy, Creativity, Critical Thinking, Design Thinking, Empathy, Follow-Through, Group Problem Solving, Growth Mindset, Intellectual Curiosity (Inactive), Long Term Planning, Managing Ambiguity, Office Administration, Policy and procedures, Recordkeeping, Risk Assessment, Software Development {+ 5 more}
