Quantum Error Correction Software Engineer

Berkeley, CA or Boulder, COOn-siteFull-time

AI Summary

Software engineer specializing in quantum error correction and fault-tolerant schemes for neutral atom quantum computers. Designs, implements, and analyzes fault-tolerant quantum computation and real-time feedback systems.

About this role

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 efforts related to quantum error correcting codes and fault-tolerant schemes
  • Designing and implementing demonstrations of fault-tolerant quantum computation
  • Real-time decoding and classical feedforward during fault-tolerant quantum computation
  • Setup and maintenance of databases
  • Compilation of quantum circuits
  • Analyzing data generated from quantum hardware performing error corrected computation
  • Simulation of fault-tolerant quantum computation
  • Resource estimation for fault-tolerant quantum applications

    • Experience & Education

  • PhD in Physics, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
  • Experience 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.
