About The Position

Alice & Bob is developing the first universal, fault-tolerant quantum computer to solve the world’s hardest problems. The quantum computer we envision building is based on a new kind of superconducting qubit: the Schrödinger cat qubit 🐈‍⬛. In comparison to other superconducting platforms, cat qubits have the astonishing ability to implement quantum error correction autonomously! We're a diverse team of 140+ brilliant minds from over 20 countries united by a single goal: to revolutionise computing with a practical fault-tolerant quantum machine. Are you ready to take on unprecedented challenges and contribute to revolutionising technology? Join us, and let's shape the future of quantum computing together! As a Quantum Algorithms Scientist , you will define the path to real-world applications for fault-tolerant quantum computing. You will work with our scientific partners to develop applications solvable with a few hundred logical qubits.

Requirements

A PhD or 3+ years research experience in quantum algorithms
Experience with Fault-tolerance
Successful track-record of driving research initiatives and solid publication portfolio
Professional-level English proficiency, both written and spoken

Nice To Haves

Experience in quantum simulation, ideally condensed matter physics
Expertise in low-level subroutines for quantum simulation
Understanding of fault-tolerant compilation and/or error correction
Experience with software design and best practices

Responsibilities

Develop novel quantum algorithms
Optimize the implementation of quantum algorithms to our architecture, and challenge it
Work on the first unchallenged quantum advantage (as soon as Alice & Bob's hardware becomes available)
Contribute to scientific collaborations with both academic institutions and industry partners
Stay up-to-date with the scientific literature for quantum algorithms in quantum simulation
