About the job Researcher, Theory Group

Researcher, Theory Group

We are a young, dynamic, and extraordinarily multidisciplinary company that combines the fields of
quantum physics, optics, mechanical engineering, hardware, firmware, and software.
We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Researcher to join the Theory Group.

The Theory Group, as its name indicates, is responsible for laying down the theoretical groundwork
for our quantum computing platform. Its tasks range from developing theoretical models of quantum
hardware components to designing quantum error correction codes and fault-tolerant architectures.
As a Researcher in the Group, you will work on a variety of extremely challenging problems at the
forefront of quantum computing.

Responsibilities:

Develop fault-tolerant quantum computing architectures tailored to our hardware.
Typical projects may include:
Research on quantum error correction codes
Research and development of decoding algorithms for quantum error correction
Optimization of hardware resources for fault-tolerant components
and more
Build state-of-the-art simulation tools to model and analyze error mechanisms in
quantum systems.
Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams - including experimental and theoretical
quantum physicists, engineers, and software developers - to ensure seamless
integration between theory and experiment.
Foster effective collaboration and knowledge sharing across teams.
Stay current with the latest developments in quantum error correction and related fields.

Qualifications:

Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics, or alternatively in Mathematics/Computer Science with a
specialization in Quantum Information. A strong publication record is required.
Proven background in Quantum Error Correction, Quantum Information, or Quantum
Algorithms is a strong advantage.
Experience implementing complex algorithms in Python, C++, or other programming
languages is required; experience with numerical simulations of quantum systems is a
strong advantage.
Background in computer science fundamentals (algorithms/data structures, complexity
theory, graph theory) is an advantage.
Ability to learn quickly and master new areas.
Excellent communication skills and a proven ability to collaborate in a multidisciplinary
team environment.
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, dynamic startup environment, with the flexibility to
adapt to changing priorities and uncertainty.

If you are passionate about quantum computing, excited about driving scientific breakthroughs, and
possess strong leadership skills, we would love to hear from you. Join our team and be at the
forefront of quantum computing innovation!
