Internship Opportunities

Some relevant positions at local or global companies/institutions can be found by navigating the Quantum Economic Development Consortium (QED-C) website and the Quantum Computing Report. The QED-C, established as part of the National Quantum Initiative Act, lists hundreds of open industry positions in quantum software and hardware, many at the Bachelor’s and Master's level.

Other resources can be found by visiting the SJSU Career Center, Department of Physics and Astronomy's Life After College and LinkedIn pages. Feel free to contact Dr. Ehsan Khatami <ehsan.khatami@sjsu.edu> with information about other resources or opportunities that can be included in this page.

An example of other programs, not as widely advertised is the following.

    3-12 months; the role may be fulfilled full time, part time, or a combination depending on the needs of the resident and the team.
    Topics: Quantum security, quantum sensing, quantum simulation and optimization, AI, science learning
    In-Person: Residents and their SandboxAQ team can mutually arrange for either remote or on-site residencies at several locations globally. Residents focused on photonics hardware may be based at our lab near Stanford University in the Bay Area.
