Hello all,
We will kick off our spring seminar series with a talk by Dr. Andrew
Bestwick of Rigetti Computing - a startup aiming to build quantum
integrated circuits with superconducting qubits. Please see the talk's
abstract below. The talk will be *THIS FRIDAY* February 3rd. The talk will
start at 12:00, with pizza served at 11:45 as always.
They are actively hiring for a number of positions across the
company. They're especially interested in discussing following job openings:

*Scalable Superconducting Quantum Integrated Circuits*
*FRIDAY, February 3rd, 2017*
11:45 AM - 12:45 PM, ROOM 26-214
The field of superconducting qubits has demonstrated a exponential rate of
performance improvement over the past fifteen years. Now, building a
practical gate-based quantum computer with superconducting circuits appears
within reach and would unlock transformative applications in quantum
simulation and machine learning. To develop truly scalable chip hardware
requires a multidisciplinary effort that integrates reliable chip
fabrication, cryogenic microwave engineering, and circuit quantum
electrodynamics. This is Rigetti Computing's approach to building quantum
integrated circuits in a fast-paced startup environment.
In this talk, I will present Rigetti Computing's superconducting integrated
quantum circuit architecture that enables the high-fidelity measurement and
control of coherent multi-qubit devices. Superconducting through-silicon
vias and 3D isolation caps allow for scalable circuits without tradeoffs in
signal integrity, forming a platform for the implementation of a wide range
of on-chip functionality. When combined with efficient, robust signal
delivery and instrumentation, this approach can be scaled for sophisticated
quantum information applications.

Hi Alums!
Can I tempt any of you to come help me build the world's most powerful
computer (and change computer engineering forever)? I'm at Rigetti Quantum
Computing in Berkeley, CA. We recruiting software, mechanical, RF, and
nano-fabrication engineers. I'm personally looking to find a full-stack
web engineer
<https://jobs.lever.co/rigetti/fd6715c9-99fd-4295-b843-c42d8299e18d> (build
deeply quantitative analysis tools for physicists) and someone to work with
me on building a Quantum OS
<https://jobs.lever.co/rigetti/aaf7589f-9e9e-4be9-aedb-c7d3b4ab5994>.
Full jobs page is here. <https://jobs.lever.co/rigetti>
Email me if you are interested! I'm happy to chat.
