About Xanadu

Xanadu’s mission is to build quantum computers that are useful and available to people everywhere.

Your role and responsibilities

The successful candidate will join the photonic integration team to drive the development of high-performance quantum photonics integrated circuits (PICs) used throughout Xanadu's fault-tolerant architecture. In this role, you will be responsible for the design and modeling of PICs to ensure ultra-low insertion loss and achieve low noise operation. Additionally, you will collaborate with photonics designers, electrical engineers, experimental physicists, and quantum architecture scientists to define realistic on-chip component requirements necessary for fault-tolerant quantum computing.

This role offers the opportunity to leverage state-of-the-art foundry processes at Xanadu's 200mm and 300mm fabrication partners, while providing direct access to Xanadu’s sophisticated quantum photonic experimental setups. <...
