Quantum Applications Architect

The role

The Quantum Applications Architect will discover and evaluate the performance of new quantum applications. This role involves researching, designing, and benchmarking quantum algorithms tailored for fault-tolerant quantum computers.

What you will do

• Research and development of techniques for quantum algorithms tailored for fault-tolerant quantum computers.
• Contribute to the design, development, and benchmarking of quantum applications and the tools required for these tasks.
• Work closely with external partners and internal teams to instantiate, validate and optimize quantum algorithms.
• Simulation and analysis of resource requirements for fault tolerant implementation of quantum algorithms in photonic quantum computing.
• Collaborate with quantum architecture group to co-optimize algorithm methods with architectural design.

Required qualifications

• Graduate degree in Physics, Math, or Computer Science or equivalent (MSc, PhD, or equivalent).
• Significant research experience in quantum algorithms, compilation, complexity, or applications research.
• A results-driven doer.
• A problem solver, with an analytical mindset.
• Proven team player with an ability to work effectively across departments, sites, and time zones.
• Ability to work independently and contribute in a fast-moving start-up environment.

Nice to have

• Experience with quantum algorithms or compiling in the regime of fault tolerant gates
• Experience in a high-throughput, rapid-delivery work environment
