## About the role

QuEra Computing is seeking a talented and innovative theorist with a strong background in theoretical atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics and quantum information science to support the modeling and architecture development of our digital neutral-atom quantum computers. In this role, you will develop detailed physics-based models of key sub-components that constitute a neutral atom quantum computer, to characterize and enhance their performance.

## What they're looking for

- Experience modeling noise sources, imperfections, and decoherence in neutral-atom platforms
- Hands-on experience with open quantum systems simulations
- Experience with pulse-level control, Hamiltonian engineering, and quantum control/optimization
- Familiarity with benchmarking and characterization of quantum hardware primitives
- Experience translating physical noise models into logical-level performance metrics
