Commitment: Full-time
Workplace Type: onsite
Quantum Circuits, Inc. (QCI) is developing a full-stack quantum computing platform using superconducting devices and a modular, robust, and scalable architecture. QCI's mission is to build the first truly useful quantum computers.
Our novel approach to building quantum computers is based on technology developed over a decade of research at Yale University's world-class quantum labs. Our machines have built-in error correction, unique software features that enable lightning-fast algorithm execution, and multiple modes of operation to solve more algorithms than ever, all in one quantum computer.
So, why join QCI? You’ll be working with the latest technology at our state-of-the-art facilities, where your curiosity, ingenuity, and initiative will thrive - you'll learn a ton by working with us and have a lot of fun doing it. We have a deep, fast-paced team that's passionate about building the best quantum computers in the world. Join us if you want to be at the forefront of the quantum revolution.
As a QCI Quantum Error Correction Theorist, here's what you’d be working on:
- Path-finding and developing quantum error correction (QEC) schemes tailored for dual-rail cavity qubits, both for large-scale codes and for nearer-term demonstrations with smaller codes
- Detailed simulation of these QEC schemes
- Collaborating with hardware physicists to realize quantum error correction protocols on real hardware
Required Qualifications:
- Ph.D. in Physics, Computer Science, or related field with focus on quantum computing, quantum information, or quantum error correction
- First-author research publications demonstrating deep technical capabilities in quantum computing and quantum information
- Experience simulating quantum error correction codes
- Strong teamwork and communication skills especially with working in interdisciplinary teams with professionals from other fields of physics and engineering
Preferred Qualifications:
- Strong familiarity with the surface code or other planar stabilizer codes
- Experience using a stabilizer simulation library such as STIM, similar libraries, or tools you have created
- Familiarity with lattice surgery and/or magic state preparation schemes
- Familiarity with quantum error correction decoders and their implementation
- Experience optimizing quantum error correction simulations for speed
- Experience collaborating closely with experimentalists on specific quantum hardware, such as superconducting qubits
- Simulating QEC with circuit-level noise models, possibly including hardware-specific noise models such as leakage
- Research publications related to quantum error correction
