# Experimental Quantum Physicist

Experimental Physicist Superlinear Computing · Palo Alto, CA (on-site, Stanford Research Park) · Full-time Role You will work with the entropy sources on the bench in our Palo Alto lab and with the superconducting hardware in our Chicago lab. You own attribution: tracing what these systems produce to their physical origin. You would be part of the core team, with a seat in every decision that touches the program. Every member shapes what we build, and we expect you to bring the ideas that change our direction. Occasional travel to our Chicago lab at the Illinois Quantum & Microelectronics Park. Requirements - A Master's degree (or an equivalent experimental record) in experimental physics, quantum optics, or precision measurement; PhD preferred. - A record of tracing noise in a measurement chain to its physical origins - in quantum hardware, precision metrology, gravitational-wave detection, or optical systems. - Time-series and spectral analysis: periodicities, non-stationarity, correlations. - Analog front-end and data-acquisition artifacts: photodetector and amplifier noise, ADC and clock behavior, grounding and EMI. - Experience characterizing or validating entropy sources or r
