TL;DR · Quantum Resource Estimation Research Scientist

The Quantum Resource Estimation Research Scientist joins a team of engineers and scientists building a path towards scalable fault tolerant quantum computation. In this role, you will identify feasible quantum algorithms and application areas for early fault tolerant devices while benchmarking resource requirements based on problem parameters, implementation details, and circuit synthesis strategies. You will develop an understanding of application domains like physics and chemistry to estimate problem parameters and characterize the performance and accuracy of quantum algorithms in practice. You will also compare quantum methods to the classical state of the art. Required skills include a doctorate in Engineering, Physics, or Computer Science, experience with quantum algorithm design and resource estimation, and proficiency in Python. Preferred experience includes Rust, C++, and large-scale software engineering.

What you'll do

  • Identify feasible quantum algorithms and application areas for early fault-tolerant quantum devices.
  • Benchmark resource requirements based on problem parameters, implementation details, and circuit synthesis strategies.
  • Develop a deep understanding of relevant application domains such as physics and chemistry.
  • Develop estimates of relevant problem parameters for specific quantum applications.
  • Characterize the performance and accuracy of quantum algorithms in practical scenarios.
  • Compare quantum methods against the current classical state of the art.

What we're looking for

  • Doctorate degree in Engineering, Physics, or Computer Science is required.
  • Relevant software experience is accepted in lieu of a specific degree.
  • Experience with quantum algorithm design, analysis, and resource estimation is required.
  • Familiarity with programming languages for scientific computing, such as Python, is required.
  • Familiarity with programming languages for high-performance computing, such as Rust or C++, is preferred.
