Job Summary
Snapshot
Science is at the heart of everything we do at Google DeepMind. We are committed to using AI and machine learning to accelerate scientific discovery and tackle some of humanitys biggest challenges.
The development of fault-tolerant quantum computing represents one of the most profound scientific and computational challenges of our the Science team at GDM we believe AI can play a critical role in accelerating progress in this field.
This is an opportunity to conduct groundbreaking research at the intersection of quantum computing and artificial intelligence. Our team is focused on leveraging cutting-edge machine learning to push the boundaries of whats possible in quantum simulation and algorithm development. You will join a multidisciplinary team of world-class researchers and engineers to pursue ambitious long-term research projects that could redefine the future of computation.
About Us
Artificial Intelligence could be one of humanitys most useful inventions. At Google DeepMind were a team of scientists engineers machine learning experts and more working together to advance the state of the art in artificial intelligence. We use our technologies for widespread public benefit and scientific discovery and collaborate with others on critical challenges ensuring safety and ethics are the highest priority.
The Role
As a Research Scientist on our Science Team you will contribute to our Quantum Computing Initiative. This role is an excellent opportunity for a creative and driven researcher to contribute to the rapidly evolving fields of quantum computing and machine learning for science. You will collaborate with domain experts in areas including mathematics computational chemistry and materials (quantum) computer science machine learning and with engineers to develop ideas run experiments and publish your findings with the goal of advancing quantum science through the application of artificial intelligence.
Key responsibilities:
- Design and execute research projects applying modern ML techniques (including generative AI) at the intersection of quantum computing and machine learning.
- Identify develop and test classical and quantum algorithms with a focus on real-world quantum hardware.
- Report and present research findings clearly and efficiently both internally and externally including through high-impact publications.
