Quantum Computing Research Scientist
A leading global financial services firm is seeking a talented Quantum Error Correction Research Scientist Computing Research to join a highly esteemed S&P 500 company.
This role offers a unique opportunity to advance the field of quantum error correction. The successful candidate will collaborate with other researchers on both theoretical and experimental demonstrations of error correction and integrate these findings with quantum algorithms for optimization, stochastic modeling, numerical analysis, machine learning, and financial applications.
Key Responsibilities:
- Advance the field of quantum error correction.
- Collaborate with algorithm researchers on algorithm-specific error correction, resource estimation, and experimental demonstrations of fault-tolerance.
- Document findings in scientific papers and present them at conferences.
- Contribute to the firm's intellectual property by pursuing necessary protections for generated IP.
Required Qualifications:
- Ph.D. degree in computer science, physics, math, engineering, or related fields.
- Demonstrated research ability in quantum computing or related fields.
- Proficiency in scientific technical writing.
- Strong communication skills with the ability to present findings to a non-technical audience.
- Experience in one or more of the following domains: Quantum error correction and fault tolerance (e.g., qLDPC codes, QEC decoders), compilation of quantum algorithms to fault-tolerant architectures.
Preferred Qualifications:
- A strong publication record is highly desirable.
- Familiarity or experience with quantum information, quantum complexity theory, and/or quantum error correction.
This role is ideal for a highly motivated individual looking to contribute to cutting-edge research in quantum computing within a dynamic and fast-paced environment.
Interested candidates are encouraged to apply to join a team that is at the forefront of technological innovation.
