Summary
Real fault tolerant quantum computers are coming. It's time to put them to work.
QuEra is seeking a talented quantum solutions scientist to explore algorithms and applications that fit within the qubit count and megaquop capabilities of near-term fault-tolerant neutral atom quantum computers. In collaboration with external customers and internal teams, you will work on hands-on co-design projects in resource estimation, application finding, QEC gadget design, and subroutine optimization to demonstrate the utility of EFT neutral atoms.
QuEra Computing is the leader in neutral atom quantum computing and is a front runner in the race towards utility-scale quantum computing. In this role, you will be at the cutting edge of quantum computing development. Your contributions will help steer QuEra and the entire field towards practical quantum utility.
Responsibilities
- Execute technical delivery of customer co-design projects from initial scoping and algorithm prototyping to hardware execution and demonstrated results.
- Collaborate closely with hardware, QEC theory, compiler, and software teams to leverage the tools, context, and expertise needed to deliver customer projects.
- Perform application-level resource estimation and use it to optimize quantum executions to fit optimally on EFT neutral atom hardware.
- Develop fault-tolerant algorithmic subroutines and QEC gadgets optimized for high-rate codes.
- Survey state-of-the-art classical and quantum methods across target verticals to identify high-value application opportunities and quantify quantum advantage crossover points.
- Publish research and present findings at leading quantum computing conferences and venues
Qualifications
- Ph.D. in physics, math, computer science, quantum information science, or similar field.
- Expertise in quantum information science and quantum computing fundamentals
- Working knowledge of modern quantum error correction techniques
