  • Getting an internship is often the first step towards a fun, challenging career in quantum computing! However, internships are becoming more and more competitive. You might be wondering, which job reqs do I even apply to? How do I know if my skills are a good fit for a position? What kind of work will I actually be doing? In this video, Olivia will discuss how to perfect your resume and maximize your chances of an interview at IBM or other quantum computing companies.

    Quantum internship:
    You have it and you don't have it at the same time. Until you open your email.
    You can know how long the internship is for, and you can know how much you get paid, but not both at the same time.
    If you get this internship, then there's another person just like you on the other side of the country that also gets their internship at the same time.

    A summary of the key points and other important aspects to consider while preparing for competitive quantum internships:
    1. Start preparing early for the internship: find out your interest (software/hardwre/research/educator), familiarize yourself with the relevant background and try do a project in a similar direction at your college before applying for your first internhip in a competitive place or abroad especially
    2. The three important categories of internhsip namely, hardware, software and research may suit people from specific backgrounds. For example, Hardware demands expertise with EM, RF, Microwave and thus quite suitable for electrical engineers. Software is mostly suitable for computer science students or people with good coding experience. Research is where physics and math students may suit the best as they can have a better sense of quantum theory or the device physics. But then anybody can work with anyfield with the right skills irrespective of the background.
    3. In resume apart from your past projects relevent to your internhsip area, carefully mention all your soft skills: effective communication, team-work, problem-solving, meticulous nature, project management etc.
    4. The subject knowledge from the following books can help you get into the different kind of quantum internships: Quantum Computing and Information by Nielsen and Chuang, Microwave Engineering from David M Pozar, Quantum Optics from Gerry and Knight, Programming from various sources on C, Python, Qiskit etc. These books are just some standard text books that can give you an idea of the topics you will be bumping onto every now and then in your quantum internhip journey and beyond (you are of course free to choose any resource you like). Although it may become quite overwhelming, these books can give you the mastery over the subjects. I believe fundamentals of quantum computing, microwave engineering, quantum optics including light-matter interaction and programming knowledge form the important (if not all) pillars of quantum computing education and research.
    5. Apply to as many places as possible for internships. For international students, also consider accepting offer from multiple places and applying visa to multiple places. These days getting a visa has become a bigger problem than getting an internhip. So, having applied to multiple countries may help you in getting approval of atleast one within the desired time period. However, I am not so sure about this multiple visa application and if it's even a good suggestion.
    6. For finiding quantum internships apart from usual google search, try be active in linkedIn and twitter and follow the right people and quantum companies. Checkout websites of quantum companies time to time. Checkout websites like www.quantiki.org ,www.qt.eu , www.quantumcomputingreport.com etc. You may also ask your seniors and Profs. at your home institutes.
    All the very best!

      really great post, very cool 💯
      From my own history if I can give any advice is to think outside the box, put yourself out there in a professional manner, don't fly under the radar or follow the perceived status quo. Tenacity, grit, and guts. Push forward don't give up, believe in yourself when nobody else does. You CAN make a difference, follow your sparks of interest. Rise above, speak up, act like the professional you strive to be!

      This is fantastic advice thank you so much! There is so much to digest here, I’ve been trying to balance whether I want to focus on one source of information, or take bits and pieces from multiplie sources and try to synthesize information that way. For example recently I’ve been reading earlier chapters from Mike and Ike, but at the same I want to start learning more about Qiskit. I’m curious whether it would be more beneficial for my learning to say, really dig into one source as much as I can or try to divi up the time I spend on different approaches and learning to quantum information.

    So cool I actually just searched for this video only to see it was posted 14 hours ago. I do have a question or maybe two. Should I apply to the software or hardware internship positions, if I’m a beginner to Qiskit, and a sophomore in my studies? If the minimum requirements are experience in hardware or software, are there other roles within IBMs quantum operation, that pertain to other skills, for example business development?

    • @subhashishbarik4319
      @subhashishbarik4319 Před rokem

      I think it is very plausible. The most famous quantum computer today, superconducting-circuit based, runs on the principles of cavity-qed in a circuit level called as circuit-qed. The physics of the qubit is mainly the interaction of microwave light with matter (here a qubit or two-level system). Check out the profile of Prof. Alexandre Blais (and his co-authors in similar field) to know about the theoretical research opportunities in that direction.
