The Maryland Student Researchers Program provides research opportunities for UMD undergraduates. For Fall 2018 the Britton Lab has the following position open.
ProjectTitle :ARTIQ Quantum Control Operating System
ProjectDesc : Quantum information science requires the use of complex algorithms and control hardware to harness the wave-like properties of quantum systems. The Britton Lab contributes to the development of the ARTIQ quantum operating system, an open source infrastructure for quantum control. A student with strong physics and computer science skills is needed to assist with writing quantum control algorithms for trapped ion qubits and drivers for laboratory instrumentation (lasers, microwave generators, etc.).
