Job Description
Quantum computing holds the promise of humanitys mastery over the natural world but only if we can build a real quantum computer. PsiQuantum is on a mission to build the first real useful quantum computers capable of delivering the worldchanging applications that the technology has long promised. We know that means we will need to build a system with roughly 1 million qubits that supports fault tolerant error correction within a scalable architecture and a data center footprint.
By harnessing the laws of quantum physics quantum computers can provide exponential performance increases over todays most powerful supercomputers offering the potential for extraordinary advances across a broad range of industries including climate energy healthcare pharmaceuticals finance agriculture transportation materials design and many more.
PsiQuantum has determined the fastest path to delivering a useful quantum computer years earlier than the rest of the industry. Our architecture is based on silicon photonics which gives us the ability to produce our components at Tier1 semiconductor fabs such as GlobalFoundries where we leverage highvolume semiconductor manufacturing processes the same processes that are already producing billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics applications. We also benefit from the quantum mechanics reality that photons dont feel heat or electromagnetic interference allowing us to take advantage of existing cryogenic cooling systems and industry standard fiber connectivity.
In 2024 PsiQuantum announced two governmentfunded projects to support the buildout of our first Quantum Data Centers and utilityscale quantum computers in Brisbane Australia and Chicago Illinois. Both projects are backed by nations that understand quantum computings potential impact and the need to scale this technology to unlock that potential. And we wont just be building the hardware but also the fault tolerant quantum applications that will provide industrytransforming results.
Quantum computing is not just an evolution of the decadesold advancement in compute power. It provides the key to mastering our future not merely discovering it. The potential is enormous and we have the plan to make it real. Come join us.
Theres much more work to be done and we are looking for exceptional talent to join us on this extraordinary journey!
Job Summary:
We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Quantum Solutions Specialist Lattice Hamiltonians to join PsiQuantums Quantum Solutions team. This role is ideal for someone with a strong scientific background and a passion for advancing cuttingedge quantum applications benefiting fundamental research. The successful candidate will work closely with internal teams and external collaborators to shape and deliver researchfocused initiatives i.e. where quantum computing can push academic research to the next level particularly in areas such as the FermiHubbard model and spin Hamiltonians on a lattice for studying material properties while establishing a robust connection with the academic community. The aim is to deepen our understanding of (i) how lattice models fit into a broader picture in condensed matter physics; and (ii) how we simulate and benchmark lattice systems.
This position requires a deep understanding of quantum mechanics strong project management skills and the ability to bridge theoretical research with practical applications.
Responsibilities:
Research Strategy Development:
- Establish a highlevel use case overview for researchdriven use cases of quantum computing e.g. FermiHubbard model which require large HPC usage today.
- Prioritize and define a clear set of researchdriven use cases for quantum computing applications.
- Provide thought leadership for our Fundamental Research domain and its practical implications for PsiQuantums mission.
Project Management:
- Support internal and external projects notably a research project on spin Hamiltonians including the FermiHubbard model and research projects on other use cases.
- Collaborate with crossfunctional teams including quantum algorithm teams to ensure the successful delivery of research goals.
- Drive the planning and reporting of research initiatives.
Academic Collaboration:
- Establish and coordinate an academic expert panel to align key research priorities.
- Engage with leading academic researchers to foster partnerships and incorporate external expertise.
Team Leadership and Development:
- Eventually this role may work towards building and leading a dedicated team for the Research domain fostering a culture of collaboration innovation and excellence.
Experience/Qualifications:
- PhD in condensedmatter physics material science solid state physics or a related scientific field.
- Strong expertise in condensedmatter theory thereof lattice Hamiltonians and the FermiHubbard model.
- Proven experience in research project management ideally within an academic or industrial R&D setting.
- Demonstrated ability to engage with academic institutions and coordinate research collaborations.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate complex scientific concepts for diverse audiences.
- A selfstarter with strong organizational skills and the ability to work independently.
- Familiarity with quantum computing platforms and tools is preferred but not mandatory.
