About the role
We take a multidisciplinary approach to quantum computing research and particularly value versatile, intellectually curious, and self-motivated problem solvers. If you are excited by the challenge of determining what future quantum computers should actually be used for—and what it will take to make those applications practical—we strongly encourage you to apply even if your background does not match every item above. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Hamiltonian simulation, quantum phase estimation, quantum signal processing or QSVT, block encoding, amplitude estimation, or other techniques relevant to large-scale quantum algorithms
- Quantum chemistry, many-body physics, materials simulation, or other scientific-computing applications
- Fault-tolerant resource estimation or logical circuit synthesis
- Working knowledge of quantum error correction and fault-tolerant architectures
- HPC, GPU computing, tensor-network methods, or other advanced classical simulation techniques
- Experience executing algorithms on contemporary quantum hardware

About the team
The Quantum Computing Research team is dedicated to developing innovative methods to get the best possible performance from contemporary and next generation quantum computers. We push toward quantum advantage by developing cutting-edge applications, employing AI, control theory, and physics principles to optimize and automate critical parts of the quantum computing stack. We conduct pioneering research looking toward the near future, including quantum error correction and the integration of quantum computers with high performance computing and data centers.
About the role
- Q-CTRL’s Applications & Algorithms team develops quantum algorithms and application workflows aimed at making quantum computers useful. We are seeking a Staff Research Scientist to help establish and lead our research program in fault-tolerant quantum applications.
- As quantum computing progresses toward error-corrected operation, an increasingly important question is not simply what can be demonstrated on today’s hardware, but which applications can justify future fault-tolerant quantum computers, what resources those applications will require, and how algorithmic innovation can bring those...
