Lead Quantum Error Correction Scientist

Booz Allen Hamilton; Corridor North (MD); In loco; USD 106.000 - 176.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

Booz Allen Hamilton seeks a Quantum Error Correction Scientist to shape fault-tolerant quantum architectures. You will work with theorists, experimentalists, and engineers to design QEC concepts, optimize resources, and advance error-corrected operations.

A Doctorate and Top Secret clearance are required, with extensive experience in QEC theory, decoders, and simulations. You will develop syndrome extraction strategies, analyze logical gates, and collaborate across software, firmware, and

Competenze

• 5+ years of experience in quantum fault-tolerance theory, decoders, and stabilizer formalism.
• Experience with simulation tools including Python, Julia, QEC frameworks, and tensor-network libraries.
• Experience with peer-reviewed research in quantum error correction.
• Ability to collaborate with experimental teams to facilitate physical implementation.
• Top Secret clearance
• Doctorate degree in Quantum Information Science, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or Applied Mathematics.

Mansioni

• Develop and optimize fault-tolerant protocols under realistic architectural constraints.
• Analyze qubit connectivity and exploit transversal and blockwise operations.
