Quantum Software Engineer: QCVV Focus
Atom Computing • USAt 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 fault-tolerant quantum computation 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:
Developing, improving, and optimizing software tools to support a variety of tasks related to characterization, verification, and validation of quantum hardware.
Contribute to research and development of QCVV protocols
Implementation of QCVV protocols on quantum hardware
Development of fast and scalable software
Contributing to related efforts, potentially including simulation, calibration, quantum error correction, decoding.
