MANTECH seeks a motivated, career and customer-oriented Quantum Research Scientist to join our team in a remote role.

The Quantum Research Scientist will advance quantum information science and optical quantum systems, leveraging expertise in continuous-variable photonics and theoretical algorithm discovery to translate complex physical phenomena into experimental prototypes and publishable research.

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Conducting foundational and applied research to advance quantum information science, with a specialized focus on continuous-variable (CV) photonic quantum computing.
• Leading theoretical algorithm discovery, establishing novel qubit modalities, and engineering advanced error-correction schemes tailored for optical and photonic quantum systems.
• Prioritizing experimental physics integration within photonics modalities over alternative architectures.
• Translating complex mathematical models and quantum physical phenomena into experimental prototypes, technical specifications, and publishable findings.
• Collaborating closely with academic partners and cross-functional engineering teams to map cross-platform control policies to alternative modalities.
• Documenting research progress and disseminating findings through technical papers, presentations, and peer-reviewed publications.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Master’s degree in Physics, Applied Physics, Mathematics, or a related technical discipline.
• 4+ years of professional experience working in quantum computing or quantum information science.
• Demonstrated foundational research experience in theoretical algorithm discovery, novel qubit modalities, quantum error-correction schemes, or experimental quantum physics.
• Demonstrated experience translating complex mathematical models and physical phenomena into experimental prototypes or technical specifications.
• Ability to travel up to 25% within the Continental U.S.
