SandboxAQ Residency Programs

If you’re a graduate student or postdoc in STEM and want to bring the new era of AI + Quantum to the world, join our residency program at SandboxAQ.

SandboxAQ is a place where the brightest, free-thinking minds from across disciplines come together to build technologies at the intersection of artificial intelligence and quantum technologies.

It is essential we have a diverse range of voices involved in building responsible technologies that impact a lot of people. We depend on each other to cancel out our confirmation biases and cultivate an environment that values innovative, open collaboration.

Projects* for SandboxAQ Residents are generally defined collaboratively with our scientists and engineers, but they can span the following areas:

Quantum Security

Improve the security of global data infrastructures against imminent attacks due to quantum capabilities (e.g. via Shor’s algorithm). Migrate from public-key cryptosystems to quantum-resistant cryptosystems.

Quantum Sensing

Build and scale the next generation of quantum sensors to better understand the world around us. Combine AI tools with data from new quantum sensing devices to impact sectors such as the life sciences, navigation, and geophysics.

Quantum Simulation & Optimization

Combine advanced physics-based and AI algorithms with the accelerated hardware of today to solve challenging problems. Develop hybrid quantum/classical applications to more accurately model our world (e.g. drug discovery, materials science).

Artificial Intelligence

Train and deploy models based on techniques from the many branches of AI such as deep learning, SciML, signal processing, image classification, natural language processing and reinforcement learning.

Learning Science + Education

Support our network of educators to create content on quantum mechanics, linear algebra, cryptography, machine learning and other disciplines. Steer clear of the curse of knowledge to make training accessible for a wide range of audiences.

*Output from a residency may include academic publications, software contributions, technical reports, and/or patents depending on project needs and resident goals.
