At Atom Computing, we build quantum computers using arrays of optically trapped neutral atoms that will empower customers to achieve unprecedented computational breakthroughs. Join a world-class team of scientists, engineers, and business professionals to advance the state-of-the-art in quantum computing.
We are seeking a software engineer with a background in quantum information theory to contribute to the architecture and strategy of error correction in neutral atom quantum computers. Atomic qubit arrays provide a path to the large-scale quantum computers that will deliver fault-tolerant, error-corrected logical qubits.
Job Responsibilities:
Research related to quantum error correcting codes and fault-toleranceDesigning and implementing demonstrations of fault-tolerant quantum computationReal-time decoding and classical feedforward during fault-tolerant quantum computationSetup and maintenance of databasesCompilation of quantum circuitsAnalyzing data generated from quantum hardware performing error corrected computationSimulation of fault-tolerant quantum computationResource estimation for fault-tolerant quantum applications
Experience & Education
PhD in Physics, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related fieldExperience with quantum error correction theory
Qualifications
Must have previous experience developing software for quantum computers in industry and/or academia and a solid grasp of quantum computing and quantum information concepts.Coding proficiency in Python and one or more compiled languages such as Rust, C, or C++, and familiarity with Git version control.Willingness to learn AMO physics or quantum mechanics concepts as required.Documented ability to translate research results into functional production code.Ability to effectively collaborate with software developers, physicists, and engineers in complementary disciplines. Temperamentally suited to work at a fast-growing, early-stage startup: self-motivated, humble, driven, collaborative, and with a high tolerance for ambiguity and uncertainty.
