Alice & Bob
Quantum Simulation Algorithms Researcher - US
TLDR
Define the path to real-world applications for fault-tolerant quantum computing while collaborating with scientific partners on groundbreaking projects.
Alice & Bob is developing the first universal, fault-tolerant quantum computer to solve the world’s hardest problems.
The quantum computer we envision building is based on a new kind of superconducting qubit: the Schrödinger cat qubit 🐈⬛. In comparison to other superconducting platforms, cat qubits have the astonishing ability to implement quantum error correction autonomously!
We're a diverse team of 200+ brilliant minds from over 30 countries united by a single goal: to revolutionise computing with a practical fault-tolerant quantum machine. Are you ready to take on unprecedented challenges and contribute to revolutionising technology? Join us, and let's shape the future of quantum computing together!
As a Quantum Algorithms Scientist, you will define the path to real-world applications for fault-tolerant quantum computing. You will work with our scientific partners to develop applications solvable with a few hundred logical qubits.
Responsibilities:
Develop novel quantum algorithms
Optimize the implementation of quantum algorithms to our architecture, and challenge it
Work on the first unchallenged quantum advantage (as soon as Alice & Bob's hardware becomes available)
Contribute to scientific collaborations with both academic institutions and industry partners
Stay up-to-date with the scientific literature for quantum algorithms in quantum simulation
Requirements:
A PhD or 3+ years research experience in quantum algorithms
Experience with Fault-tolerance
Successful track-record of driving research initiatives and solid publication portfolio
Professional-level English proficiency, both written and spoken
Nice to have:
Experience in quantum simulation, ideally condensed matter physics
Expertise in low-level subroutines for quantum simulation
Understanding of fault-tolerant compilation and/or error correction
Experience with software design and best practices
