About the role
This scientist looks for algorithms and applications that fit the qubit counts and operation budgets of near-term fault-tolerant neutral-atom machines. The work is hands-on co-design with customers, covering resource estimation, application finding, QEC gadget design and subroutine optimization. The goal is to show where such machines can deliver practical value.
What you'll do
- Deliver customer co-design projects from scoping and algorithm prototyping through hardware runs and results.
- Work with hardware, QEC theory, compiler and software teams to get what each project needs.
- Estimate application-level resources and use them to fit executions onto early fault-tolerant hardware.
- Develop fault-tolerant algorithmic subroutines and QEC gadgets tuned for high-rate codes.
- Survey classical and quantum methods across industry verticals to find high-value applications and advantage crossover points.
- Publish results and present at leading quantum computing venues.
Requirements
- PhD in physics, math, computer science, quantum information science or a similar field.
- Expertise in quantum information science and computing fundamentals.
- Working knowledge of modern quantum error correction techniques.
- Scientific coding experience in Python.
- Strong written and oral communication.
Nice to have
- Postdoc or quantum computing industry experience.
- Customer-focused project development experience.
- Expertise in a vertical such as logistics, finance, chemistry, biotech or machine learning.
- Strong publication record in quantum information or a related field.
- Familiarity with gate-based neutral-atom quantum computing.
