Full-time
Onsite
Senior LevelQuantum Circuits, Inc. (QCI) is developing a full-stack quantum computing platform with a mission to build the first truly useful quantum computers. As a Quantum Error Correction Theorist, you will work on developing quantum error correction schemes, simulate these schemes, and collaborate with hardware physicists to implement protocols on real hardware.
ComputerManufacturingQuantum ComputingSoftware
Responsibilities
Path-finding and developing quantum error correction (QEC) schemes tailored for dual-rail cavity qubits, both for large-scale codes and for nearer-term demonstrations with smaller codes
Detailed simulation of these QEC schemes
Collaborating with hardware physicists to realize quantum error correction protocols on real hardware
Qualification
Required
Ph.D. in Physics, Computer Science, or related field with focus on quantum computing, quantum information, or quantum error correction
First-author research publications demonstrating deep technical capabilities in quantum computing and quantum information
Experience simulating quantum error correction codes
Strong teamwork and communication skills especially with working in interdisciplinary teams with professionals from other fields of physics and engineering
Preferred
Strong familiarity with the surface code or other planar stabilizer codes
Experience using a stabilizer simulation library such as STIM, similar libraries, or tools you have created
Familiarity with lattice surgery and/or magic state preparation schemes
Familiarity with quantum error correction decoders and their implementation
Experience optimizing quantum error correction simulations for speed
Experience collaborating closely with experimentalists on specific quantum hardware, such as superconducting qubits
Simulating QEC with circuit-level noise models, possibly including hardware-specific noise models such as leakage
Research publications related to quantum error correction
