Summary
Quantum Circuits, Inc. is seeking a Quantum Error Correction Theorist to join their team in New Haven, CT. The role involves developing quantum error correction schemes and collaborating with hardware physicists to implement these protocols on real hardware.
About the Role
As a Quantum Error Correction Theorist at QCI, you will be responsible for path-finding and developing quantum error correction (QEC) schemes tailored for dual-rail cavity qubits, conducting detailed simulations of these QEC schemes, and collaborating with hardware physicists to realize quantum error correction protocols on actual hardware.
About You
Required:
- 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 in interdisciplinary teams.
Preferred:
- Strong familiarity with the surface code or other planar stabilizer codes.
- Experience using a stabilizer simulation library such as STIM or similar tools.
- 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, including hardware-specific noise models.
- Research publications related to quantum error correction.
