Researcher to the Theory Team

Quantum Source is a novel key player at the forefront of the world-wide effort towards large-scale quantum computation. Based on

proprietary technology, Quantum Source is developing a unique photonic quantum computer that can support efficient quantum

error correction.

We are a young, dynamic, and extraordinarily multidisciplinary company that combines the fields of quantum physics, optics,

mechanical engineering, hardware, firmware, and software.

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Researcher to join our Theory Team, focusing on error correction strategies for quantum computing.

As a Researcher in the Theory Team, you will play a crucial role in advancing the field of quantum computing by developing and implementing error correction techniques.

Responsibilities:

·      Research, design, and implement quantum error correction codes tailored to our quantum hardware.

·      Develop novel error mitigation strategies to enhance the overall performance and reliability of quantum computations.

·      Build state-of-the-art simulation tools to model and analyse error mechanisms in quantum systems.

·      Collaborate with experimental teams to validate theoretical predictions through simulations and experiments.

• Work closely with cross-functional teams, including experimental physicists, engineers, and software developers, to ensure seamless integration between theory and experimental efforts. Foster effective collaboration and knowledge sharing across teams.

Qualifications:

• Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics/Mathematics/Computer Science, ideally with a strong focus on quantum information theory/quantum error correction.
• Fast learner, willing to explore and master new and challenging areas.
• Proven experience in implementing complex algorithms in Python, C++, or another programming language.
• Experience in developing and implementing error correction codes for quantum computing platforms is a strong advantage.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively in a multidisciplinary team environment.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced and dynamic startup environment, with a demonstrated ability to adapt to changing priorities and navigate uncertain situations.

If you are passionate about quantum computing, excited about driving scientific breakthroughs, and possess strong leadership skills, we would love to hear from you. Join our team and be at the forefront of quantum computing innovation!
