Job Description
As a QCI Quantum Error Correction Theorist heres what youd be working on:
- Path-finding and developing quantum error correction (QEC) schemes tailored for dual-rail cavity qubits both for large-scale codes and for nearer-term demonstrations with smaller codes
- Detailed simulation of these QEC schemes
- Collaborating with hardware physicists to realize quantum error correction protocols on real hardware
Required Qualifications:
- Ph.D. in Physics Computer Science or related field with focus on quantum computing quantum information or quantum error correction
- First-author research publications demonstrating deep technical capabilities in quantum computing and quantum information
- Experience simulating quantum error correction codes
- Strong teamwork and communication skills especially with working in interdisciplinary teams with professionals from other fields of physics and engineering
Preferred Qualifications:
- Strong familiarity with the surface code or other planar stabilizer codes
- Experience using a stabilizer simulation library such as STIM similar libraries or tools you have created
- Familiarity with lattice surgery and/or magic state preparation schemes
- Familiarity with quantum error correction decoders and their implementation
- Experience optimizing quantum error correction simulations for speed
- Experience collaborating closely with experimentalists on specific quantum hardware such as superconducting qubits
- Simulating QEC with circuit-level noise models possibly including hardware-specific noise models such as leakage
- Research publications related to quantum error correction
