About QuEra Computing

QuEra Computing is the leading provider of quantum computers based on neutral-atoms. Our mission is to build the most scalable quantum computers. Backed by SoftBank VF.

About the role

QuEra Computing is seeking a talented and innovative scientist with a strong background in quantum algorithms for materials and chemistry, quantum resource estimation, and quantum error correction. You will develop and adapt quantum algorithms for materials and chemistry problems, quantify their resource requirements on neutral-atom hardware, and identify co-design opportunities across algorithms, compilation, and error correction. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Background in electronic-structure or classical many-body methods (e.g., DFT, DMRG, DMFT, QMC, embedding/downfolding)
  • Knowledge of logical micro-architecture design
  • Software engineering skills (maintainable, tested, version-controlled code)
  • Experience using AI tools for research and coding
More about this role

QuEra Computing is seeking a talented and innovative scientist with a strong background in quantum algorithms for materials and chemistry, quantum resource estimation, and quantum error correction. You will develop and adapt quantum algorithms for materials and chemistry problems, quantify their resource requirements on neutral-atom hardware, and identify co-design opportunities across algorithms, compilation, and error correction. You will work closely with external collaborators to translate their scientific goals into concrete quantum workloads on QuEra’s upcoming fault-tolerant neutral atom hardware . You will also collaborate with QuEra's software, QEC, and hardware teams to make sure that algorithmic approaches align with architectural capabilities and roadmaps. You will be expected to independently drive research efforts and turn your results into concrete guidance for project execution and hardware demonstrations.

  • Develop and adapt quantum algorithms for materials and chemistry problems, together with collaborators.
  • Lead resource estimation to assess what these problems require on neutral-atom hardware, both near-term and fault-tolerant.
  • Co-design algorithms,...
