Quantum Research Scientist – Error Correction

About The Company (Industry & Sector)

Quantum Computing, Artificial Intelligence and Semiconductor Engineering

• Architect fully fault-tolerant, scalable quantum processors by crafting blueprints and error-correction strategies for next-generation devices, including patentable IP.
• Design, simulate and benchmark surface, LDPC and bosonic codes on noise-biased hardware; iterate solutions with cryo-control and fabrication teams.
• Build numerical tool-chains in Python/QuTiP/Qiskit to model error propagation, mitigation and gate-fidelity limits, delivering data-driven design insights.
• Prototype dynamical-decoupling and error-mitigation schemes that extend coherence and enable bias-preserving logical gates.
• Publish peer-reviewed papers, file patents and author internal DoE reports that steer roadmap and funding decisions.
• Champion rigorous peer reviews, mentor junior researchers and foster cross-functional knowledge-sharing.
