Quantum Scientist Applied QEC

Quantum Scientist - Applied QEC
Boston MA US Full-time Permanent Hybrid

Salary: $135000 to $170000 DOE

About us

Riverlanesmission is to master quantum error correction (QEC) and unlock a new age of human progress. From advances in material and climate science to complex chemistry simulation for new drug design quantum computers will help humanity solve some of its most important challenges. But without QEC the industrys defining technical challenge such breakthroughs can never be is the world leader in QEC technology. QEC is a complex problem that requires a range of skillstalentand passion.

Having raised more than $125M in funding to date to accelerate ourcutting-edgeR&D in quantum error correction (QEC) Riverlane partners with many of the worlds leading quantum hardware providers and government agencies to make fault-tolerant quantum computing a reality.Weremaking remarkable progress and growing fast.

About the role
As a Quantum Scientist (applied) you will work within Riverlanes Research team supporting our partners as they design run and interpret quantum computing experiments while also contributing to Riverlanes internal research in QEC.

Working with a diverse set of partners you will gain exposure to different qubit architectures and develop an understanding of their respective QEC considerations. Using your knowledge of quantum computing you will help translate experimental goals into practical implementations analyze results and share insights that inform both customer success and ongoing product and research development.

Whilst this is aresearch-focused role youwill collaborate directly with customers to set up experiments understand technical challenges and support progress as well as work closely with internal teams to resolve issues and advance projects. You will alsorepresentRiverlane externally through conference attendance presentations and technical discussions.

In this role you will:

• Work with partners across the North America (predominantly US) with varied qubit architectures to design and execute quantum computing experiments using Riverlanes DeltaKit Software and tools
• Support the deployment of quantum applications and QEC-related solutions into partner environments
• Investigate experimental results diagnose issues and work with internal research and product teams to resolve them
• Contribute to internal research projects related to quantum computing and quantum error correction
• Present results internally and externally including at customer meetings workshops and conferences

What we need

• A PhD in Physics Experimental Physics Computer Science Engineering or a related field
• Research experience in quantum computing gained in academia or industry
• Experience designing running and analyzing experiments or simulations using research-grade tools
• An interest in quantum error correction and applying research in real-world settings
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with experience presenting or discussing technical work
• Comfort with collaborating with customers and partners as part of the role
• The ability to work effectively in a collaborative interdisciplinary team
