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

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
