About the Role
As a quantum compilation researcher, you will be part of Xanadu’s software and algorithms group, working with scientists and developers to design cutting-edge quantum algorithms and build an advanced software platform for quantum computing. You will design advanced software architectures for quantum compilation, optimize compilation passes, reduce the cost of quantum algorithms, invent intellectual property, and publish scientific papers.
Responsibilities
- Add new compilation techniques to the PennyLane+Catalyst ecosystem based on cutting-edge methods, heavily optimized to reduce resource requirements of key algorithms.
- Optimize quantum software pipelines to improve performance and address bottlenecks in compilation of large-scale algorithms.
- Optimize compilation of quantum circuits for execution on fault-tolerant quantum computers with advanced quantum error correction.
- Develop quantum compilation methods for dynamic circuits and for algorithms with control flow.
- Stay up to date with the latest quantum compilation literature and provide thought leadership to the team.
- Invent cutting-edge quantum compilation techniques that significantly push the state of the art.
- Translate research discoveries into performant software.
- Lead projects with multiple cross-functional contributors: algorithms researchers, compilation researchers, software developers, and product managers.
Requirements
- Bachelor's Degree in Physics, Mathematics, Engineering, Computer Science, or related field (or equivalent experience).
- Scientific programming experience in Python, C/C++.
- Deep expertise in methods for exact and approximate unitary synthesis.
- Expertise in physical-level hardware compilation.
- Advanced mathematical skills, especially in linear algebra and group theory.
- Familiarity with classical compilation and intermediate representations.
- Strong track record of research accomplishments in quantum compilation, demonstrated by peer-reviewed publications.
- Ability to conduct research in an interdisciplinary team environment, as well as independently when required.
- Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly and effectively.
- Ability to manage individual project priorities, deadlines, and deliverables while working in a fast-paced environment.
