About the role
This role sits on a team building neutral-atom quantum computers and focuses on the theory that makes their logical qubits reliable. The scientist designs error correction codes and fault-tolerant protocols suited to the hardware, and works with theory, software and experimental groups to test how well logical operations perform.
What you'll do
- Develop quantum error correction codes and fault-tolerant protocols for neutral-atom hardware
- Design hardware-efficient schemes for fault-tolerant logical operations
- Benchmark logical performance and report results to theory, software and experimental colleagues
- Work across disciplines to move protocols from theory toward implementation
- Advance fault-tolerant quantum algorithms and logical operations
- Collaborate with academic and industry partners on joint research
Requirements
- PhD in quantum computing, physics, computer science, mathematics or electrical engineering, or equivalent experience
- Expertise in quantum error correction and a solid foundation in quantum computing
- Research contributions in error correction shown through publications or software
- Scientific programming skills in Python, C++ or a comparable language
- Strong written and verbal communication across disciplines
Nice to have
- Experience designing fault-tolerant logical operations or estimating their resource costs
- Circuit-level error correction simulation, noise modeling and logical error benchmarking
- Experimental collaboration or hardware implementation of error correction, especially with neutral atoms
- Development of high-performance or real-time decoders in software or hardware
- High-performance computing or machine learning applied to error correction
