- H-1B has no fixed salary bar: the employer must pay at least the prevailing wage for the role and area. Cap-subject employers enter a lottery weighted by wage level.

US H-1B: cap-subject employers enter a lottery weighted by wage level — Level I gets 1 entry, Level IV gets 4 (DHS projected selection odds ≈15% at Level I to ≈61% at Level IV). Universities and non-profit research employers are cap-exempt. The $100,000 fee for new petitions from abroad is currently blocked by a court order (appeal pending).
A verdict summarises public evidence. It is not legal advice and never a guarantee: the employer and the immigration authority decide. Sign in to factor in where you can already work.

***This is for a future opportunity***
MANTECH seeks a motivated, career and customer-oriented Quantum Research Scientist to join our team in a remote role.
The Quantum Research Scientist will advance quantum information science and optical quantum systems, leveraging expertise in continuous-variable photonics and theoretical algorithm discovery to translate complex physical phenomena into experimental prototypes and publishable research.
Responsibilities include but are not limited to:
• Conducting foundational and applied research to advance quantum information science, with a specialized focus on continuous-variable (CV) photonic quantum computing.
• Leading theoretical algorithm discovery, establishing novel qubit modalities, and engineering advanced error-correction schemes tailored for optical and photonic quantum systems.
• Prioritizing experimental physics integration within photonics modalities over alternative architectures.
• Translating complex mathematical models and quantum physical phenomena into experimental prototypes, technical specifications, and publishable findings.
• Collaborating closely with academic partners and cross-functional engineering teams to map cross-platform control policies to alternative modalities.
• Documenting research progress and disseminating findings through technical papers, presentations, and peer-reviewed publications.
Minimum Qualifications:
• Master’s degree in Physics, Applied Physics, Mathematics, or a related technical discipline.
• 4+ years of professional experience working in quantum computing or quantum information science.
• Demonstrated foundational research experience in theoretical algorithm discovery, novel qubit modalities, quantum error-correction schemes, or experimental quantum physics.
• Demonstrated experience translating complex mathematical models and physical phenomena into experimental prototypes or technical specifications.
• Ability to travel up to 25% within the Continental U.S.
Preferred Qualifications:
• PhD in Quantum Physics, Atomic Physics, Condensed Matter, or Computer Science with a Quantum Information Science focus.
• A robust peer-review record, industry recognition, patents, or publications in top-tier journals (e.g., Nature, PRX, IEEE).
• Professional certifications such as IBM Certified Quantum Computation using Qiskit Developer, MIT xPro Quantum Computing Fundamentals, or Advanced HPC/GPU Acceleration (e.g., NVIDIA CUDA).
• Experience applying machine learning and AI algorithms to quantum control or complex physical simulations.
Clearance Requirements: Must be a US Citizen.
Physical Requirements: Must be able to remain in a stationary position 50% of the time. Must be able to communicate, converse, and exchange information with peers and senior personnel. Constantly operates a computer and other office productivity machinery.
