Research Scientist, Quantum Algorithms

Key responsibilities:

• Conduct research on new computational models and techniques to reduce the circuit depth of quantum algorithms
• Develop and implement novel quantum algorithms integrated with early fault-tolerant protocols and error correction or detection primitives
• Contribute to end-to-end resource estimation of quantum algorithms under realistic hardware constraints
• Communicate scientific results internally across teams and externally through publications and conference presentations

Requirements:

• PhD in a relevant field (physics, mathematics, computer science etc.)
• Research experience in quantum algorithms, along with demonstrated expertise in at least one of the following areas: quantum algorithm design and optimization, realistic noise models of quantum hardware, quantum error correction, or (partially) fault-tolerant protocols

What we value

• Demonstrated research track record via publications in a relevant field
• Deep knowledge of quantum computing and quantum algorithm design
• Hands-on experience with implementing quantum algorithms on simulators or hardware
• Excellent written and oral communication skills
• Programming skills in a high-level language such as Python and relevant tools such as pytket, Qiskit etc.
