Quantum Software Engineer: QCVV Focus
Job Description
Quantum Software Engineer: QCVV Focus
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 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.
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 or academia and a solid grasp of concepts from quantum computing and quantum information theory.
-
Coding proficiency in Python and one or more compiled languages such as Rust, C, or C++, and familiarity with Git version control.
-
Must have familiarity with machine learning
-
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.
