AI training contract
Physics Expert (AMO / Quantum Information)
Science & Research · USD 80-160 an hour. · 10 openings
Physics Expert (AMO / Quantum Information) is contract work for micro1, reviewing and correcting what AI models produce in science & research. The output of the job is expert judgement written down: a model gives an answer, someone who knows the subject decides whether it is right and explains why.
What it requires. This role is gated on phd or academic credential. Applications without it are not considered, and the requirement is stated here because the original advert usually carries it well below the rate.
What it pays. USD 80 to USD 160 an hour, as published by micro1. Rates in this category track how rare the credential is rather than how hard the work is.
Where. The listing says this role is remote and names no country. micro1 says it hires talent from around the world, except people who reside in Afghanistan, Belarus, China, Cuba, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Hong Kong, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Macao, Myanmar, North Korea, Russian Federation, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela, Ukraine, and Yemen. So this page lists every other country as eligible, on the strength of that rule and not of anything this listing says. Requirements can still differ by role, so check the application page on micro1 before you apply.
micro1 lists 10 openings on this role.
Skills named: Physics, Bogoliubov transformations, sideband photocurrent spectra, homodyne detection, loss modelling via fictitious beamsplitters, covariance-matrix methods, squeeze-parameter hyperbolic identities.
Applications are made on micro1, not here. WFA Digital is independent of micro1 and may receive a referral fee if you are hired, at no cost to you.

Role Title: Physics Expert (AMO / Quantum Information) Role Type: Contractor Location: Remote micro1 is engaging Physics Experts (AMO / Quantum Information) to contribute to a cutting-edge research-focused project in collaboration with a customer. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters. This opportunity centers on benchmarking advanced concepts in quantum optics, focusing on cascaded optical parametric amplifiers, SU(1,1) interferometers, and the effects of loss and two-mode squeezing. Contributors may participate as Solvers, Auditors, or Adjudicators, with assignments tailored to subfield specialization, experience, and demonstrated hands-on ability using the specified methods. Scope of Work Analyze and model cascaded optical parametric amplifiers and SU(1,1) interferometric systems under realistic loss mechanisms. Apply Bogoliubov transformations and covariance-matrix techniques to quantify quantum correlations and noise properties. Derive and interpret sideband photocurrent spectra utilizing homodyne detection methodologies. Implement and critique loss modeling via fictitious beamsplitters, ensuring robust benchmarking against theoretical and experimental scenarios. Utilize squeeze-parameter hyperbolic identities to characterize entanglement and squeezing performance in lossy quantum systems. Preferred Qualifications Advanced degree (PhD or equivalent experience) in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical (AMO) Physics, Quantum Optics, or Quantum Information Science. Proven expertise with Bogoliubov transformations, covariance-matrix formalism, and quantum noise analysis. Hands-on familiarity with sideband spectra, homodyne detection, and modeling of quantum optical loss mechanisms. Demonstrated ability applying squeeze-parameter hyperbolic identities in practical research or experimental analysis. Familiarity with frontier research involving cascaded parametric amplifiers, SU(1,1) interferometry, or two-mode squeezing is highly valued.
