Our ambition is to build large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computers. Before reaching full fault tolerance, intermediate architectures will continue to operate under significant hardware and noise constraints, making error mitigation an important part of understanding and improving their performance.
You will join Quandela’s Quantum Information team within Architecture, working at the interface between quantum information theory, architecture performance and fault-tolerant quantum computing.
The team develops methods to benchmark, characterise and evaluate the computational performance of Quandela’s current and future architectures, helping guide hardware and architecture decisions.
We are now looking to build dedicated expertise in Quantum Error Mitigation (QEM).
You will develop and assess mitigation methods adapted to our photonic and spin-photonic systems, working closely with Quantum Information, Device Physics and FTQC researchers.
Your goal will be to understand how QEM can improve computation fidelity and extend the useful depth of quantum circuits, while assessing its cost, limitations and interaction with error correction on realistic architectures.
Requirements
As a Quantum Information Scientist working on Quantum Error Mitigation, you will:
During your first 3 months:
become familiar with Quandela’s architectures, noise models and FTQC roadmap, and identify relevant mitigation approaches.
Within 6–12 months:
develop and test QEM methods adapted to our systems and take increasing ownership of QEM / QEC and performance studies.
Longer term:
help shape how mitigation is used across future architectures and explore applications of mature methods at algorithm and software level.
-
What we're looking for:
We are looking for a researcher with hands-on experience in Quantum Error Mitigation and an interest in applying quantum-information theory to real quantum-computing systems.
Your background may also include noisy quantum systems, QEC, benchmarking or hardware-aware quantum computing. What matters is that you have already worked directly with mitigation methods and can adapt them to new physical constraints.
-
Must-have:
Important, but you can grow here:
Bonus:
Previous experience with photonic quantum computing is not required. Practical QEM experience and the ability to transfer your methods to a new physical architecture are more important.
Benefits
Join a growing quantum-computing company where your research can directly contribute to the performance of future quantum architectures.
Plus:
Process
The technical discussion is intended to understand how you approach scientific material, identify relevant constraints and connect your expertise to a concrete quantum-computing problem.
Beyond that:
If you have experience in Quantum Error Mitigation and want to apply it to real quantum architectures, we would love to hear from you, even if your previous work was carried out on a different hardware platform.
