At a glance
As a Quantum algorithm developer within IBM Research, you will lead projects focused on designing novel and efficient quantum algorithms for practically useful problems, specifically targeting implementations for fault-tolerant quantum computers. Your daily work involves rigorously characterizing quantum speed-ups using tools from computational complexity theory while comparing results against state-of-the-art classical methods. You will collaborate with compiler, error-correction, and hardware research teams to optimize algorithms for early fault-tolerant architectures and contribute to the broader community through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations. The role requires a doctorate and expertise in quantum information theory, linear algebra, and computational complexity. Candidates must possess a track record of independent theoretical research and proficiency in at least one general-purpose programming language to solve complex problems in the field of quantum computing and related theoretical computer science domains.
