## 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
