About Xanadu:
Xanadus mission is to build quantum computers that are useful and available to people everywhere.
At Xanadu we are learners innovators researchers collaborators and problem solvers. We are creating something that has never been built before. Few people in their life will be able to be a part of something like this where if we are successful the technologies we develop will solve some of the worlds most challenging problems and literally change the world. And that is something to be excited about!
Your role and responsibilities:
At Xanadu we are developing the technology to execute largescale quantum algorithms on faulttolerant quantum computers with millions of physical qubits. As a quantum compilation researcher you will be part of Xanadus software and algorithms group working with our team of scientists and developers to design cuttingedge quantum algorithms and to build one of the worlds most advanced software platforms for quantum computing. You will play a key role in the team by designing advanced software architectures for quantum compilation optimizing compilation passes reducing cost of quantum algorithms inventing key intellectual property and publishing scientific papers.
At Xanadu you will:
- Add new compilation techniques to the PennyLaneCatalyst ecosystem based on cuttingedge methods heavily optimized to reduce resource requirements of key algorithms.
- Optimize quantum software compilation pipelines to improve performance and address bottlenecks in compilation of largescale algorithms.
- Optimize compilation of quantum circuits for on faulttolerant quantum computers with advanced quantum error correction.
- Develop quantum compilation methods for dynamic circuits and for algorithms with control flow.
- Stay up to date with the latest quantum compilation literature and provide thought leadership to the team.
- Invent cuttingedge quantum compilation techniques that significantly push the state of the art.
- Translate research discoveries into performant software.
- Lead projects with multiple crossfunctional contributors: algorithms researchers compilation researchers software developers and product managers.
Throughout your work you will showcase a commitment to excellence an ability to thrive in a fastpaced environment a forwardthinking mentality and a collaborative work ethic. You will also demonstrate leadership technical curiosity and creativity.
