Error Correction and Algorithms Scientist

Job description

About The Role and Team This role focuses upon tailoring high-level quantum algorithms to run on our hardware. Successful candidates will be familiar with the established toolset of quantum algorithms and understand the compilation tools required to map circuits to a target gate set. With consideration of various quantum error correction schemes and the specifics of Quantum Motion hardware, you will research and develop processes to run circuits on target architectures while monitoring the resources consumed. Candidates should have experience working with the surface code and the use of factories to produce resource states. This role does not require prior understanding of Quantum Motion’s silicon-spin hardware platform, with knowledge expected to develop on the job while working with other researchers in the team. This role will provide a critical interface between applications and hardware development at Quantum Motion, allowing us to identify algorithms that are compatible with future iterations of our hardware. In addition to an established research background, we are looking for candidates with strong communication skills who can discuss with both applications and error correc...
