TL;DR · Quantum Information Software Intern

As a Quantum Information Software Intern 2027, you will join the Quantum Information Software group at IBM Research to advance the state of the art in software for fault tolerant quantum computing. Working alongside researchers and developers, you will perform resource estimation of quantum algorithms, compile and optimize high-level quantum algorithm primitives like block encoding and arithmetic, and develop techniques to reduce non-Clifford resource usage. You will also focus on optimizing compilation for the bicycle architecture, including entanglement routing and magic state factories, while implementing optimization techniques from existing literature. The role requires familiarity with quantum information, quantum circuits, and modern algorithms for simulation and cryptography. Candidates should be able to transform theoretical concepts into software prototypes and may possess expertise in qLDPC codes, error correction, and simulations of QEC circuits within the field of fault tolerant quantum computing.

What you'll do

  • Perform resource estimation of quantum algorithms.
  • Compile and optimize high-level quantum algorithm primitives like block encoding and arithmetic.
  • Develop techniques to reduce non-Clifford resource usage in specific quantum algorithms.
  • Optimize compilation for the bicycle architecture, including magic state factories and entanglement routing.
  • Implement existing optimization techniques from current scientific literature.
  • Transform theoretical quantum concepts into functional software prototypes.

What we're looking for

  • Master's Degree (preferred).
  • Familiarity with quantum information and quantum circuits.
  • Ability to transform theoretical concepts into software prototypes.
  • Track record of independent research and publication in quantum information science (preferred).
  • Familiarity with modern quantum algorithms for simulation and cryptography (preferred).
  • Expertise in quantum architectures based on qLDPC codes (preferred).
  • Familiarity with error correction, QEC circuit simulations, and fault tolerant quantum computing literature (preferred).
