Job description

  • Research efforts related to quantum error correcting codes and fault-tolerant schemes
  • Designing and implementing demonstrations of fault-tolerant quantum computation
  • Real-time decoding and classical feedforward during fault-tolerant quantum computation
  • Setup and maintenance of databases
  • Compilation of quantum circuits
  • Analyzing data generated from quantum hardware performing error corrected computation
  • Simulation of fault-tolerant quantum computation
  • Resource estimation for fault-tolerant quantum applications

Requirements

Do you have experience in Software engineering?, * PhD in Physics, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field

  • Experience with quantum error correction theory, * Must have previous experience developing software for quantum computers in industry and/or academia and a solid grasp of quantum computing and quantum information concepts.
