Job Description:

Quantinuum are looking for a Research Scientist to join our quantum software team based in Cambridge and push the boundaries of quantum computing. In this role, you will develop novel theoretical research and practical tools to reduce noise in quantum algorithms and bridge the gap between near-term and fault-tolerant computing. This includes, but is not limited to, topics such as noise mitigation and characterisation at the logical and physical levels of computations, analysis of resources and trade-offs in end-to-end implementations under realistic conditions, co-design of algorithms and fault-tolerant protocols.

You will be part of a dynamic, research-driven environment, that values interdisciplinarity, creativity, complex problem-solving, and open discussions. While you will receive guidance from experienced researchers when needed, you will also have the freedom to think independently and creatively. You will work collaboratively with software, applications, and experimental teams to contribute to the development of robust and scalable quantum computing systems. There will also be opportunities to collaborate with our academic and industry partners.

Responsibilities:
  • Conduct in-depth research on the co-design of quantum algorithms and error mitigation/error correction codes to optimize performance and resources.
  • Develop and implement new protocols for characterizing and suppressing errors in early fault tolerant computations.
  • Contribute to the development of simulation tools and software for modelling and analysing noise on quantum systems.
  • Publish research findings in leading academic journals and present work at conferences.
- Key Requirements:
  • PhD or equivalent research experience in computer science, physics, mathematics, or a related field.
  • A keen interest in learning new research areas and expanding your technical skillset.
  • Research experience in at least one relevant area: quantum algorithms, error characterisation and mitigation, quantum error correction.
  • Ability to communicate technical ideas clearly both verbally and in writing.
