Quantum Error Correction Theorist

BerkeleyHybridFull-time

AI Summary

Develops and optimizes fault-tolerance schemes and decoders for gate-based neutral-atom quantum computers, collaborates with software and control teams to implement classical compute layers, and translates abstract error-correction ideas into concrete hardware demonstrations.

About this role

At Atom Computing, we build quantum computers using arrays of optically trapped neutral atoms that will achieve unprecedented computational breakthroughs. Join an incredible team of scientists, engineers, and business professionals to advance the state of the art in quantum technologies that will transform computing performance.
We are seeking physicists, computer scientists, mathematicians, and engineers to contribute to the architecture and strategy of error correction on neutral atom quantum computers. Atomic qubit arrays provide a path to the large-scale quantum computers that will deliver error-corrected logical qubits and fault-tolerant operations.

Responsibilities

  • Developing and optimizing fault-tolerance schemes for gate-based atomic array quantum computers
  • Developing and evaluating optimization strategies for atom movement during fault-tolerant computation
  • Collaborating with software and control systems teams to implement classical compute layers necessary for fault-tolerant computation
  • Developing and implementing decoders
  • Developing and maintaining tools for quantum simulation
  • Implementation of error correction on quantum hardware

    • Experience & Education
