Summary
QuEra Computing UK is seeking a talented, impact-motivated theoretical researcher with strong expertise in quantum computing applications. You will be a part of the team aiming to co-design novel quantum simulation applications for QuEra’s neutral-atom hardware. Working individually and as part of a team, you will interact with academic collaborators, clients, business partners, and other users of quantum computing to address fascinating challenges, from the inclusion of near-term error correction approaches in quantum simulation algorithms to the design of new application pipelines, for example in quantum materials simulation, quantum chemistry or nuclear physics.
Qualifications
- Ph.D. degree in physics, computer science, or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience
- A strong background in quantum computing and/or quantum algorithms, including:
- Expertise in quantum simulation applications, preferably in condensed matter physics, quantum materials, nuclear physics and/or quantum chemistry
- Expertise in using and/or developing numerical simulation techniques of many-body systems and/or quantum circuits, for example using Pauli propagation, Clifford simulation, tensor networks (MPS, DMRG, etc.), exact diagonalisation, sparse matrix methods, density-functional theory, coupled-cluster + extensions, DMFT
- Experience in using quantum circuit programming and compilation, for example using Cirq, Qiskit, Tket, CUDA-Q
- An exceptional publication record in relevant fields
- Ability to collaborate effectively in cross-functional teams
