Attention Senior Quantum Scientists

Attention Senior Quantum Scientists!

Department : Quantum Processors

Employment Type : Full Time

Location : British Columbia, Canada

Description

Have you seen it all in quantum computing? Are you a leader in your field? Photonic is seeking senior, experienced applicants in all areas of quantum information technology : spin defects, quantum control, quantum circuit design and optimization, algorithms, fault tolerance, and error correction.

At the lower end of the stack, you may have experience in spin-photon interfaces, dynamical decoupling, universal control, and gate compilation strategies.

At the upper end of the stack, quantum resource optimization, universal logical gate set strategies, resource state and memory management, distributed quantum computing, and error correction codes and decoders could be in your toolbelt.

Leverage your expertise to help us build scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computers based on photonically-linked silicon spins!

In this role, you will work with a highly collaborative and multi-disciplinary team of scientists and quantum engineers responsible for quantum metrics, sequencing, networking, error correction, fault tolerance, and algorithms, or a relevant subset of the above.

You will enjoy significant freedom to find novel solutions to the most important problems in quantum computing.

Please include a cover letter with your resume (in one file) describing how you would be a great fit at Photonic and what attributes you could bring to our growing team.

Some of the attributes you could bring to our team :

• 5+ years of increasing R&D responsibility within a quantum information processing company
• Advanced degree (PhD) and academic experience in physics, mathematics, or related fields
• A background in quantum information with an interest in theoretical or experimental quantum computing, error correction, fault-tolerance, resource estimation and optimization, noise models, distributed computing, compilation, and / or algorithm design
• Significant experience with quantum architecture design best practices
• Significant experience in setting research direction and a history of solving important problems
• Ability to be flexible and adapt to new situations in rapidly changing R&D environment
