Data Scientist jobs in United Kingdom

Designing, building, programming, and using a quantum computer poses numerous challenges. Modern AI methods show promise in tackling these challenges, and in the AI team at Quantinuum we are integrating AI and quantum computing as part of our company-wide AI strategy. As an intern in the London office, you will work closely with research scientists and engineers in our newly formed and rapidly growing AI team, who are leading the development of tools and frameworks applying AI techniques to quantum computing to solve hard problems in the quantum computing stack. You will also have access to Quantinuum’s world-leading quantum computers.

We have a variety of projects to which an intern can be assigned. Examples include: using reinforcement learning (RL) to optimise quantum circuits; using ML and RL techniques for state preparation in quantum error correction (QEC); ML for real-time decoding for QEC; training transformers to generate circuits which prepare the ground state of a particular molecular Hamiltonian; training a transformer to generate samples from a Transverse-field Ising model; using features from Quantum Topological Data Analysis to improve the performance of a classical ML model on an industrially-relevant task; and designing and training quantum generative models for which there is evidence of quantum advantage.

• Help design and run experiments at the intersection of AI and quantum computing.
• Collaborate with research scientists and engineers in the AI and other Quantinuum teams to implement new algorithms and software solutions.
• Produce analysis and reports and present results of the experimental work to the AI team.

• Experience of practical ML applied to problems in science or engineering.
• Experience of standard ML toolkits and pipelines, e.g. PyTorch
• Interest in, and willingness to learn about, quantum computing.

• Familiarity with quantum computing concepts, or a related field such as quantum many-body physics.
• Experience in large-scale machine learning (large language models, reinforcement learning).
• Experience leveraging high-performance computing (e.g. distributed multi-node, multi-GPU platforms).

Are you ready to dive into the quantum space and work alongside industry leaders? As an intern at Quantinuum, you will have the unique opportunity to contribute to an active project, utilising your existing skills while gaining invaluable experience in this cutting-edge field.

• Collaborate with some of the brightest minds in the industry, gaining insights and knowledge from seasoned professionals.
• Engage in hands-on projects that will enhance your technical skillset and understanding of quantum technologies.
• Receive mentorship and guidance to help you refine your career path and professional development.

Our mission is to provide you with a comprehensive internship experience that not only exposes you to the industry but also positions Quantinuum as a top contender for your future career aspirations.

If you’re eager to grow, learn, and make meaningful contributions in the exciting world of quantum technology, we want to hear from you!
