Quantum Error Correction (QEC) Theorist

The Role:

• Design and assess QEC schemes for novel hardware architectures integrating multiple qubit modalities.
• Develop hardware-aware fault-tolerance protocols tailored to system constraints and noise models.
• Build simulation and modelling frameworks for quantum system design and performance analysis.
• Lead high-impact research initiatives across multidisciplinary teams spanning experimental and theoretical physics, engineering, and computer science.

Requirements:

• PhD in physics, applied physics, computer science, electrical engineering, or a related discipline.
• Research publications in quantum error correction (QEC) or related fields.
• Strong programming skills in scientific computing environments.
• Demonstrated success delivering cross-functional research projects.
• Excellent written and verbal technical communication skills.

Strong Candidates May Have:

• Experience in translating advanced R&D into commercial products and technical roadmap milestones.
• Implementing QEC schemes on physical quantum hardware.
• Converting theoretical error-correction models into hardware-aware protocols.
• Experience in developing or implementing QEC decoders.
