Research Interests:

• Susan Clark leads the QSCOUT (Quantum Scientific Computing Open User Testbed) project at Sandia National Laboratories and is always on the lookout graduate students looking to join the project for their graduate research.  In this project, students would be working on methods to make the ion trap system more robust to noise sources, learning about the implementation of quantum computing algorithms on real hardware, and working with a team to add features to our small quantum computer. More information about the project can be found here: https://www.sandia.gov/quantum/quantum-information-sciences/projects/qscout/ Publications related to trapped ion work (including QSCOUT) can be found here:  https://www.sandia.gov/quantum/trapped-ions-publications-and-patents/ If you are interested, please contact her at sclark@sandia.gov
