IonQ delivers trapped ion quantum computing systems, cloud access, and enterprise solutions for real-world quantum applications. Backed by NEA, SoftBank VF and GV.
About the role
You will take quantum error correction protocols from theory to a physical layout on ion trap processors, and build the simulation tools that tell us how those layouts perform under realistic noise. The work is deeply collaborative. You will work alongside trap designers, AMO physicists, QEC researchers and colleagues from a broad range of research backgrounds, and share your results through papers and other technical writing. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
