Remote Quantum Architect

Summary

Join PsiQuantum's quantum architecture team to develop and evaluate high-level designs for fault-tolerant photonic quantum computers. The ideal candidate will have a background in physics with some exposure to quantum information, quantum error correction, and quantum optics.

Requirements

• Degree in Physics, Math or Computer Science or equivalent required
• PhD in Physics, Math or Computer Science, with a focus on quantum information theory or quantum computation preferred
• Ability to collaborate effectively across departments, sites, and time zones
• Ability to work independently and contribute in fast-moving start-up environment
• Experience programming in Python, C++ or similar languages
• Experience with numerical simulation techniques e.g. Markov-chain Monte Carlo or tensor networks
• Competent use of collaborative software development tools (e.g., GitHub) is desirable

Responsibilities

• Work closely with domain experts to model quantum phenomena in photonic components, circuits, and devices
• Implement controlled approximations of models for integration into large-scale simulation frameworks
• Identify sources of error, interactions with quantum error correcting codes, and potential mitigation techniques
• Profile simulation tools and explore and implement more optimal numerical and computational techniques
• Run numerical analyses, manage data, and communicate results
