Job Description

As a member of our Quantum Error Correction Theory Team, you will design quantum error-correcting codes and protocols as well as state-of-the-art decoding algorithms contributing to the core technology of our quantum computers. This role has an emphasis on developing and integrating quantum error-correcting tools for the near future.

Responsibilities

Depending on your background and interest, the work might be one of the following:

  • Development and simulation of state-of-the-art codes
  • Improving the performance of existing decoding algorithms
  • Reducing the computational complexity of protocols for magic-state distillation
  • Performing and assisting in quantum error correction experiments on IQM hardware

Required Skills

  • Deep knowledge of quantum error-correcting codes (e.g., PhD + 1-2 years of experience)
  • Strong publication record
  • Knowledge of the theory of superconducting circuits is appreciated
  • Expertise in one of the following areas:
    • Designing quantum error-correcting codes with connectivity constraints
    • Implementation of multi-qubit logical gates, e.g., lattice surgery
    • Fault-tolerant quantum algorithms
    • Quantum algorithm-specific error correction, e.g., simulation of fermionic systems
    • Decoding algorithms based on model graphs, e.g., belief propagation, union-find and minimum-weight perfect matching algorithms
    • Machine-learning-based decoding algorithms
    • Implementation of decoding algorithms in FPGA
