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.

‍AQ 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.

We have hosted residents from more than 15 countries, including Australia, Canada, France, Spain, the UK, and the USA, and are looking for opportunities to expand the program further.

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 cultivate an environment that values innovative and open collaboration.

‍

Projects for SandboxAQ Residents are defined collaboratively with our scientists and engineers and span the following areas:

Quantum Security

Improve the security of global data infrastructure against Store Now Decrypt Later attacks. Migrate from RSA and ECC 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.
