At Atom Computing, we’re building quantum computers using arrays of optically trapped neutral atoms that will empower customers to achieve unprecedented computational breakthroughs. Work alongside our Quantum Engineering, Control Systems, and Software teams to demonstrate the power of scalable, neutral-atom quantum computers.

We are seeking a quantum error correction theorist to contribute to the architecture and strategy of error correction in neutral atom quantum computers. Atomic qubit arrays provide a path to the large-scale quantum computers that will deliver fault-tolerant, error-corrected logical qubits.

Job Responsibilities:

Developing and optimizing quantum error correction schemes for gate-based atomic array quantum computers
Simulation of error correction codes
Development and implementation of decoders
Implementation of error correction on quantum hardware

Experience & Education

PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, or a related field
Experience with quantum error correction theory

Qualifications

Willingness to translate concepts into demonstrations running on actual quantum computing hardware.
Temperamentally suited to work at a fast-growing, early stage startup: self-motivated, humble, driven, collaborative, and has a high tolerance for ambiguity and uncertainty.
Ability to effectively communicate and collaborate with a diverse team of experimental physicists, hardware, and software engineers.
Familiarity with Python and Git software version control

Atom Computing is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer, committed to Workplace Diversity.
