Quantinuum is looking for the next scientist to join the Quantum Error Correction (QEC) team in the United Kingdom. If selected, you will contribute to the architectural design and implementation of our QEC stack. This includes projects from the more abstract discovery of QEC codes with good properties and their universal fault-tolerant (FT) gate sets, passing through the big-picture simulation, distribution and estimation of quantum resources in our future generations of quantum devices, to the more practical design, compilation and decoding of FT or partially-FT QEC primitives and complete algorithms in our existing trapped-ion quantum computers.
Based in the London-Victoria or Cambridge offices, you will be working in a research-focused group with scientific direction from experienced QEC researchers, with a close connection to hardware and software engineers. You will produce research papers and software libraries, with freedom to think independently and creatively, making it an excellent opportunity to advance the theory and practice of quantum computing while developing your professional and academic career.

Key Responsibilities:
Researching QEC methods and FT algorithms to run on real and simulated quantum computers.
Collaborating with hardware and software engineers to implement existing and new techniques.
Writing articles and publishing in leading scientific journals.
Developing software libraries that accelerate the research in QEC.
Keeping up-to-date with the literature of the field.
Participate in the day-to-day activities of the QEC team: discussions, journal club, seminars…
Need to have:
A Ph.D. degree or equivalent – or will have submitted their thesis prior to taking up the position – in Maths, Computer Science, Physics or a related discipline.
A strong research record showing evidence of your ability to understand the fundamentals of QEC and contribute towards new ideas.
Communicating scientific ideas clearly and precisely, both verbally and in writing.
Nice to have:
Scientific computing, programming in Python, and preferably one or more of high-speed languages like C++, Rust, Julia.
What is in it for you?
Working alongside a highly talented team, with leading names in the quantum computing industry. We offer a highly competitive package, equity, 28 days of paid holiday (in addition to public holidays), a workplace pension, a positive approach to flexible working and enhanced parental and adoption benefits.
