We are seeking a Lead Quantum Error Correction Scientist in our Broomfield, CO Location.

Quantinuum is looking for a highly qualified Quantum Error Correction Scientist to apply their knowledge base to the development of both near-term and long-term quantum error correction. The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of quantum error correction and the limitations and opportunities imposed by real-world hardware constraints.

In this role, you will apply previous experience in theoretical quantum error correction to provide technical leadership in both technology demonstrations and the development of an architecture roadmap toward industrial-scale fault-tolerant quantum computation. You will also drive development of new concepts, help mature software tools to program quantum computers, and write journal publications and conference presentations. You will work with fellow theorists and system-level architects to ensure rapid and significant advancement of the state-of-the-art and provide direction and mentorship to lower level Scientists and Associates to ensure best scientific practices.

Key Responsibilities:

    • Work directly with other theorists and experimentalists to understand the trapped-ion QCCD quantum computer architecture
    • Develop quantum error correction codes optimized for our hardware and inform future designs
    • Help inform system level requirements (error rates, classical computing requirements, etc.) to enable efficient error correction
    • Work with algorithm developers to find early uses for error correction concepts
    • Communicate ground-breaking results both internally and externally through publications and presentations
    • Develop, implement, and oversee best scientific practices across the theory team

YOU MUST HAVE:

    • Completed PhD in Physics or Computer Science
    • Minimum of 5+ years of post-PhD experience in research projects
    • Due to Contractual requirements, must be a U.S. Person. defined as, U.S. citizen permanent resident or green card holder, workers granted asylum or refugee status

WE VALUE:

    • Completed PhD in Physics or Computer Science with background in quantum error correction
    • Experience in working with experimentalists
    • Experience in working with quantum computing hardware
    • Experience in other relevant area of theoretical quantum computing (diagnostics, algorithm development, etc.)
    • Some knowledge of trapped-ion quantum computers
    • Excellent written and oral communication skills, with published results within their field of research.
    • As a top candidate, you will have strong organizational and leadership skills, and be good at working and negotiating with partners

 

Compensation & Benefits:

Range posted is inclusive of bonus target when applicable
