Noblis is seeking Principal Engineers / Quantum Scientists to support the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Aeronautics and Exploration Technology directorates at NASA Ames Research Center (ARC). Employees will perform complex tasks related to scientific research associated with air traffic management, advanced technology, nanoelectronics, prototype software, and quantum computing, particularly the improvement of aircraft and airspace safety as well as the transition of advanced aeronautics technologies into future air vehicles. The goal of the research effort is to improve current models of quantum computing (in particular gate-model and quantum annealing) or to study unconventional paradigms of computation (for instance, optically Coherent Ising Machines).
This can involve design of experiments to run on emerging hardware to give insights into quantum approaches to problems of interest to NASA and other partners from the U.S. Government, academia, and industry. The researcher explores the physics of quantum algorithms, the robustness of the hardware, develops best practice programming techniques for quantum hardware, and illuminates the inner workings to better understand the mechanisms (e.g. entanglement, co-tunneling, many-body effects etc.) that can be used to provide a quantum computational advantage.
Example research problems include:
