Quantum Error Correction Theorist – Remote/Kyoto

We’re currently working with a quantum computing start-up in Japan who are looking for a researcher with a background in quantum error correction. This person should be able to shape the fault-tolerance strategy for devices and develop scalable neutral atom quantum computers.

The potential of quantum computers relies upon large-scale fault-tolerant devices and this role will focus on designing quantum architectures for physical hardware.

Tasks:

• Analyse and design fault-tolerant circuits for syndrome measurement and logical operations
• Optimise protocols for fault-tolerance, taking into consideration hardware constraints like atomic movement
• Implement quantum error correction on neutral atom hardware

Experience required:

• PhD or equivalent in Quantum Information, Physics, Computer Science or Mathematics.
• Strong background in fault-tolerance and/or quantum error correction
• Experience with any of qLDPC, magic state distillation, fault-tolerant gate synthesis, lattice surgery, circuit compilation or code design.
• Experience programming in Python, Rust, Julia, C++ or similar languages
• Experience numerically simulating and analysing the performance of error correction protocols.
• Experience collaborating with experimental teams to implement fault-tolerant protocols in hardware, especially in AMO physics

This opportunity offers remote work, as long as you can work on the same time-zone as the team in Japan.

If this role sounds interesting to you, please apply and we’ll speak soon.
