Senior Scientist – Fault-Tolerant Quantum Algorithms

Documented expertise in FTQC algorithms with line-of-sight to end-customer value i.e. millions of qubits, billions of gates Ability to contribute toward the FTQC algorithm ecosystem including the development of tools (libraries, simulators, compiler), metrics (costing, resource estimation, ROI) and community (economic development, standards). Relentless dedication to optimizing algorithm performance (accuracy, time-to-solution) through elegant theoretical equations, as well as engineering optimization Proven track record of domain expertise in fault-tolerant quantum computing, demonstrated through invited talks, repos, licenses, publications, and/or patents Experience being part of a team that finds, defines, and solves problems of real-world interest. Good team player with excellent communication skills.

Develop fault-tolerant quantum solutions that can make a large scientific and commercial impact across a wide range of industry verticals Be part of a client-facing team that finds, defines and solves problems of real-world interest using IonQ trapped-ion quantum computers Contribute technical expertise toward comparisons of FTQC algorithms vs NISQ algorithms vs classical HPC algorithms. Contribute knowledge of metrics and tools (classical and quantum) to evaluate and communicate pros/cons, current state-of-the-art, scaling behavior, trade offs, cross-over points, etc. Discover foundational IP and publish results in high-impact-factor peer-reviewed journals and conferences
