**Overview**
Research Internships at Microsoft provide a dynamic environment for research careers with a network of world-class research labs led by globally-recognized scientists and engineers, who pursue innovation in a range of scientific and technical disciplines to help solve complex challenges in diverse fields, including computing, healthcare, economics, and the environment.
We are seeking a Research Intern to explore the intersection of quantum applications and quantum system architecture through advanced resource estimation and AI-driven methods. You will develop models that map application-level requirements—such as algorithm depth, error tolerance, and logical qubit demand—onto architectural constraints including error correction overhead, connectivity, and control infrastructure. By combining machine learning with quantum resource estimation, this work aims to co-design more efficient quantum systems that are aligned with real-world application workloads. ...
