QuEra Computing typically hosts a select number of interns throughout the year. Current internship openings will be posted on our Careers site; however, even if we do not have any active openings at the moment, we still warmly welcome your inquiries. To be eligible for a QuEra internship opportunity, candidates must be actively enrolled in an academic program relating to physics, engineering, or computer science, at the bachelor’s level or higher (e.g., bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral program). Please note that QuEra Japan is unable to provide relocation support, and all internship candidates must be able to work in Japan. We look forward to hearing from you!

## About QuEra Computing, Inc.

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: QuEra Computing builds and commercializes neutral-atom quantum computers, aiming to deliver fault-tolerant systems for scientific, industrial, and government applications.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series B)
- **Headquarters**: Boston, Massachusetts, United States
- **Founded**: 2018
- **Founders**: Mikhail Lukin (Chief Scientist, Harvard), Vladan Vuletić (CTO, MIT), and additional Harvard/MIT scientists

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Quantum computing (hardware, software, and cloud services)
- **Target customers**: High-performance computing (HPC) centers, public sector agencies, enterprise innovators, and research institutions – primarily B2B
- **Mission**: *“A world where quantum computing is a trusted tool for solving high-value problems in science, industry, and society.”* [quera.com](https://www.quera.com/about)

## Products & Services
- **Aquila**: A 256-qubit neutral-atom quantum computer that became the first publicly accessible neutral-atom system on Amazon Braket (launched 2023). Used for quantum simulation and research.
- **Gemini**: QuEra’s first commercially available gate-based neutral-atom quantum computer, deployed on-premises (first system delivered to Japan in 2023).
- **Quantum Innovation Platform**: A full-stack offering combining hardware, software, and co-design services to help partners develop quantum solutions for specific industries.
- **Roadmap to Fault Tolerance**: QuEra plans to reach megaquop logical performance with hundreds of logical qubits by 2028, and gigaquop performance with ~1,000 logical qubits shortly after. [quera.com](https://www.quera.com/)

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not publicly disclosed; raised >$230M in Series B financing (backed by Google, SoftBank Vision Fund 2, Valor, and later expanded by NVIDIA’s NVentures). Total known funding: $17M seed (2021) + $230M+ Series B.
- **Key Metric**: Total funding ~$247M+ (private company; revenue not publicly available)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Google, SoftBank Vision Fund 2, Valor Equity Partners, NVIDIA (NVentures), and others.
- **Growth Signals**: 
  - Selected by Japan’s AIST for a ~$40M on-premises neutral-atom computer integrated with the NVIDIA-powered ABCI-Q supercomputer.
  - Chosen for DARPA’s Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI) Stages A and B.
  - Demonstrated a logical quantum processor with 48 logical qubits (2024 Physics World Breakthrough).
  - Published first experimental demonstration of magic state distillation for universal logical quantum computing.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Neutral-atom technology**: Scalable to thousands of qubits using optical tweezers, offering a path to fault-tolerant quantum computing that is widely recognized as highly promising.
- **Strong academic roots**: Built on pioneering research from Harvard University and MIT, with founders who are leading physicists in the field.
- **Early ecosystem leadership**: First neutral-atom system on a public cloud (Amazon Braket), first commercially available gate-based neutral-atom system, and active partnerships with major HPC centers and governments.
- **Fault-tolerance roadmap**: Clear technical milestones (megaquop by 2028, gigaquop shortly after) backed by published breakthroughs in error correction and logical qubits.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scaling toward fault tolerance**: Executing a roadmap to deliver error-corrected logical quantum computers by 2028.
- **Commercial expansion**: Deploying on-premises systems to HPC centers and government labs (e.g., AIST in Japan, DARPA).
- **Ecosystem building**: Co-designing applications with enterprise and public-sector partners, and integrating with classical supercomputing infrastructure (e.g., NVIDIA GPU clusters).
- **International presence**: Establishing QuEra Computing Japan to support the country’s national quantum strategy.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Described as “more science, less fiction” with a focus on real physics, precision engineering, and collaborative learning across disciplines. [quera.com/careers](https://www.quera.com/careers)
- **Benefits**: Company-subsidized medical insurance with Health Reimbursement Account, 100% company-paid dental and vision, 401(k) with dollar-for-dollar match up to 5% (immediate vesting), flexible time off, paid holidays, sick leave, free parking, catered lunch-and-learns, stocked kitchens, and employee events.
- **Work environment**: Based in Boston, MA. The engineering team develops classical control systems that operate neutral-atom quantum computers, moving quantum from lab experiments to production-grade systems.
- **Team**: Leadership includes experienced executives (CEO Andy Ory, CFO Ed Durkin, CCO Yuval Boger) and world-class scientists (CTO Vladan Vuletić, Chief Scientist Mikhail Lukin). The company emphasizes internal cross-disciplinary collaboration and external partnerships.
