Job Description

At Quantum Circuits Inc., we are building the world’s first truly algorithmic quantum computers to achieve transformational computing capabilities. Our full-stack quantum computing platform uses superconducting devices along with a modular, robust, and scalable architecture. Our unique approach is based on a decade of technology research and breakthroughs at Yale University's world-renowned quantum labs.

We are seeking a talented Senior Quantum Applications Engineer with expertise in Quantum Error Correction (QEC) to join our team to develop our QEC stack, including software and simulation. The selected candidate will not only play a critical role in developing our stack but will also evaluate use cases for partially error corrected or early fault-tolerant systems.

Responsibilities:

Implement and test QEC codes within our software stack based on evolving requirements.
Iterate upon code implementations rapidly based on experimental results.
Develop and execute QEC simulations to guide the development of our QEC approach.
Project the earliest feasible quantum algorithms that leverage the capabilities of our system including projecting and simulating the earliest fault-tolerant algorithms.
Innovate on QEC codes and their software implementations, working directly with QEC theorists and quantum engineers.
Collaborate on the execution of groundbreaking QEC experiments, working closely with quantum engineers.
Engage with our users to help them use our systems and adapt use cases to our systems in a wide range of industries such as logistics, finance, pharmaceuticals, and materials science.

Requirements:

MS or PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field with a specialization in quantum computing.
5+ years of experience with Python programming or another general-purpose programming language.
3+ years of quantum computing industry experience including QEC experience and deployment of quantum algorithms.
Expertise with one or more quantum computing SDKs like Qiskit, Q#, or CUDA-Q.
Expertise with principles of quantum computing and quantum information science.
Expertise in quantum error correction.
Competence with Git version control and experience with development in a collaborative environment.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to effectively communicate complex technical concepts.

Preferred Qualifications:

PhD or postdoctoral research in Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
Impactful publications on quantum error correcting codes.
Experience with high performance simulations of quantum error correcting codes.
Experience with components of QEC including decoder algorithms, lattice surgery, and magic state preparation.
Experience with intermediate representations, particularly QIR
Experience in use of software testing principles and practices, including unit testing, integration testing, end-to-end testing, and containerization and orchestration technologies.
Experience in with quantum algorithms in an applied setting (e.g., building hybrid quantum/classical end-to-end solution for a meaningful use case).
Experience in machine learning or data science and tools like PyTorch or TensorFlow.
Experience in use of software testing principles and practices, including unit testing, integration testing, end-to-end testing, and containerization and orchestration technologies (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes, ...).
