Quantum Error Correction Software Engineer presso Atomcomputing

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-tolerance

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.
