About the Role
In this role, you will help develop the numerical toolkit for fault-tolerant photonic quantum computing architectures, focusing on the logical (quantum error-correction) layers and the development of in-house software tools. This involves using, maintaining, optimizing, and introducing new features to the existing fault-tolerant software stack to run large-scale error-correction simulations.
Responsibilities
- Develop the numerical toolkit for fault-tolerant photonic quantum computing architectures.
- Focus on the logical (quantum error-correction) layers.
- Develop in-house software tools.
- Use, maintain, optimize, and introduce new features to the existing fault-tolerant software stack.
- Run large-scale error-correction simulations for performance evaluation and resource estimation.
Requirements
- MSc. in Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or Engineering, especially in topics relevant to quantum information theory.
- Several years of research or industry experience in related fields.
- Strong experience with object-oriented programming in Python.
- Experience with high-performance computing, including writing and running optimized and parallelized code on supercomputers and computing clusters.
- Experience with software engineering best practices: testing, continuous integration, version control, documentation, and code review.
- Familiarity with quantum computation theory, including quantum error correction under various noise models, codes, and decoders.
- Familiarity with the optical platform for quantum computation, especially bosonic codes such as GKP states and the continuous-variable formalism.
- Great communication skills, and the ability to clearly express complex technical concepts.
