## About the role

D-Wave is seeking a talented and self-motivated Quantum error correction (QEC) theorist to join our gate-model Quantum Engineering team. In this role, you will contribute to novel error correction research and development that will push the boundaries of QEC using our dual-rail cavity qubit architecture. This position is ideal for researchers with a strong foundation in error correction and who also enjoy close scientific collaboration with experimental physicists and engineering teams.

## What they're looking for

- Conduct pathfinding QEC research tailored for dual-rail cavity qubits for near-term and scalable fault-tolerant computing applications
- Perform research towards fault-tolerant computation using erasure qubits on a broad range of QEC topics, including exploration of error correcting codes, lattice surgery, magic state preparation, decoders, and many more
- Perform logical error rate and resource estimation investigation for QEC architectures
- Design and perform detailed, hardware-accurate simulations of novel QEC protocols
- Contribute meaningfully to D-wave’s roadmap to realize fault-tolerant quantum computation with the dual-rail architecture
- Ph.D. and/or a Master’s degree with 2 years of relevant experience in Q uantum Computing, Physics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field
