Atom Computing is looking for a Software Engineer to contribute to the architecture and strategy of error correction in neutral atom quantum computers. You will join a team focused on advancing fault-tolerant, error-corrected logical qubits.
What You'll Do
- Lead research efforts related to quantum error correcting codes and fault-tolerant schemes.
- Design and implement demonstrations of fault-tolerant quantum computation.
- Manage real-time decoding and classical feedforward during fault-tolerant quantum computation.
- Set up and maintain databases.
- Compile quantum circuits.
- Analyze data generated from quantum hardware performing error corrected computation.
- Run simulations of fault-tolerant quantum computation.
- Perform resource estimation for fault-tolerant quantum applications.
What We're Looking For
- A PhD in Physics, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
- Experience with quantum error correction theory.
- Previous experience developing software for quantum computers in industry and/or academia.
- A solid grasp of quantum computing and quantum information concepts.
- Coding proficiency in Python and one or more compiled languages such as Rust, C, or C++.
- Familiarity with Git version control.
- Documented ability to translate research results into functional production code.
- Ability to effectively collaborate with software developers, physicists, and engineers in complementary disciplines.
- A temperament suited to a fast-growing, early-stage startup: self-motivated, humble, driven, collaborative, and with a high tolerance for ambiguity and uncertainty.
Technical Stack
- Python
