SummaryReal 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.
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
- Strong written and oral communication skills
- Experience with scientific coding using Python
Preferred Qualifications- Relevant Postdoc and/or quantum computing industry experience
- Customer focused project development experience
- Expertise in an industry vertical such as logistics, finance, operations research, chemistry, biotech, engineering, machine learning, or another related field.
- Strong publication record in quantum information science, machine learning, chemistry, applied mathematics, or similar field.
- Familiarity with gate based neutral atom quantum computing
- Prior experience in a quantum computing company or commercial research environment
