About the Role

Sygaldry Technologies is developing quantum-accelerated AI servers to exponentially enhance AI training and inference, aiming to accelerate the path to superintelligence and ensure its efficient, affordable scaling. Our AI servers uniquely combine multiple qubit types in a fault-tolerant architecture for the cost, scale, and speed required by advanced AI applications. We are exploring new frontiers in physics, engineering, and AI, driven by a grounded, optimistic, and rigorous culture, and seek individuals to define and advance the quantum-AI intersection.

Responsibilities

  • Investigate and advance state-of-the-art diffusion and score-based generative models with a focus on mathematical efficiency.
  • Conduct deep theoretical analysis of computational bottlenecks in sampling, denoising, and likelihood estimation.
  • Develop novel solver methods for diffusion ODEs/SDEs that are mathematically compatible with quantum algorithms.
  • Identify mathematical structures in generative models amenable to quantum speedup.
  • Prototype hybrid workflows where quantum subroutines accelerate classical pipelines.
  • Benchmark theoretical versus practical advantages, producing white papers and internal technical reports.
  • Publish findings in top-tier conferences and journals.
  • Collaborate with quantum hardware teams to inform future architecture requirements.
  • Translate research insights into scalable proof-of-concept implementations.

Requirements

  • Hold a PhD (or are nearing completion) in Computer Science, Physics, Applied Mathematics, or a related field.
  • Deep expertise in diffusion probabilistic models, score matching, or related generative methods.
  • Understanding of the mathematical foundations: SDEs, ODEs, Langevin dynamics, and probability flow.
  • Experience with ML frameworks (PyTorch, JAX) and writing clean, research-grade code.
  • Strong track record of research excellence (first-author publications).
  • Excited to work on novel problems and question assumptions with rigor.
  • Published research specifically on diffusion models, score-based generation, or neural ODE/SDE methods.
  • Experience optimizing sampling efficiency.
  • Familiarity with numerical methods for differential equations.
  • An understanding of quantum algorithms and computational complexity.
  • Background in high-dimensional probability or stochastic processes.
