Job summary

Jobgether seeks a Staff Scientist to lead quantum characterization, verification, and benchmarking (QCVV) in the United States. You will shape benchmarking protocols for complex multi-qubit systems, translate results into actionable error models for QEC and decoders, and collaborate across experimental and compiler teams to improve quantum processor performance.

The role emphasizes publishing influential research, presenting at conferences, and mentoring rising scientists while contributing to

Qualifications

• PhD in Physics, Quantum Information, Mathematics, or a closely related field.
• At least 7 years of research experience in quantum characterization, benchmarking, or a closely related discipline.
• Strong publication record in quantum information science.

Responsibilities

• Lead the research and development of novel, scalable QCVV protocols for multi-qubit quantum processors.
• Define the research direction for quantum processor characterization and benchmarking, connecting measurement outcomes to practical error models.
• Design benchmarking methods that identify and measure specific noise types, informed by component-level characterization and first-principles approaches.
• Develop theoretical frameworks that translate characterization data into actionable error models, including detector error models.
• Collaborate with quantum error correction and compiler teams to inform error-correction code selection and decoder design.
• Work closely with experimental teams to translate theoretical findings into measurable system improvements.
• Publish research findings in leading scientific journals and conferences.
• Represent the research team at industry and academic conferences.
