Quantum Algrithms Researcher
Develop the first useful quantum algorithms.
Haiqu is building a world-leading software platform that enables previously impossible applications on modern quantum processors. Our full-stack approach has shown industry-first results in pilots with leading quantum early adopters. Backed by top investors, we offer a unique opportunity to join a fast-growing team to drive theoretical and practical quantum algorithm development in the early FTQC (EFTQC) era.
We seek candidates with a solid academic background in theoretical and applied quantum algorithms, a demonstrated capability for independent research, and a passion for testing out theoretical concepts on real quantum hardware. Responsibilities:As a Research Scientist in Quantum Algorithms, you will explore and develop near-to-mid-term quantum applications on NISQ and EFTQC quantum architectures. You will run and design research projects on characterization, benchmarking, and resource estimation for quantum algorithms, and conceptualize and prototype proof-of-principle demonstrations. To this end, you will conduct both theoretical algorithm research and run practical experiments using state-of-the-art quantum software and hardware.
Requirements
- PhD in physics or related field (Computer Science, Mathematics)
- A research background in quantum computing, quantum algorithms, quantum information theory, or computational physics with a demonstrated publication record.
- A good knowledge of quantum computing, including Error Correction, with a particular emphasis on recent research in quantum algorithms. Experience in resource estimation and practical optimization of quantum algorithms is a plus, as is good familiarity with quantum compilation and Tensor Network methods.
- Strong programming skills (preferably in Python) and a familiarity with at least one practical quantum computing framework (e.g. Qiskit).
- Experience with ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow) is a plus
- Excellent communication and presentation skills.
Benefits
We offer competitive compensation with significant equity and benefits. Join a diverse, flexible workplace building the future of quantum computing.
