Senior Scientist, Quantum Sensing (Modeling)

About the team Q-CTRL’s Quantum Sensing Research team performs basic and applied research in quantum sensing and quantum-enabled navigation. It is a highly dynamic team comprising approximately 30 specialists in theoretical and experimental atomic physics, cold-atom interferometry, navigation modeling, and modern Bayesian estimation and signal processing techniques.  The Quantum Sensing Research and Quantum Sensing Engineering teams work closely together, translating novel quantum sensing research into a useful capability and product. We are focussed on pushing the boundary of what is possible in quantum sensing and ensuring our R&D has real-world impact. About the role This role aims to perform essential research and development into next-generation quantum sensors. The role will be working on control solutions, control system development, and classical and quantum sensor fusion algorithms to enhance the performance of real-world quantum sensors using atom-interferometry. This will involve developing novel simulation tools and partnering with experimental physicists to perform data analysis for assessing sensor performance in real-world environments and demonstrating your new methods function. Additionally, you will contribute to the efficient and effective functioning of Q-CTRL. This will sometimes include helping out regardless of boundaries of responsibility to help us achieve our mission of making quantum technology useful.
