Quantum Hardware Physicist

We are looking for a Quantum Hardware Physicist who will join our team of quantum scientists creating next-generation quantum computers. We partner with multiple hardware manufacturers and tailor the quantum algorithm to the specific hardware. The role is principally focused on the theoretical modelling and simulation of superconducting circuits, trapped ions, atoms, spin qubits or NV-centers based QC. Your focus will be either on one or multiple of these hardware platforms. You will develop pioneering realizations of multi-qubit gates including noise effects and support the co-designing of algorithms and error correction protocols specifically adapted to these hardware platforms, using the ParityQC architecture.

 

Your task

As a Quantum Hardware Physicist, you will theoretically model the underlying physics of superconducting circuits, trapped ions, atoms, spin qubits or NV-center hardware platforms including noise effects. You will utilize the specific advantages of superconducting circuits, trapped ions, neutral atoms, spin qubits or NV-center based quantum computers to co-design performant algorithms and to propose the experimental realization of improved qubit gates. This co-development of hardware and software requires both a profound theoretical knowledge of quantum information theory as well as a deep understanding of the specific qubit platforms. Your tasks involve creating innovative techniques and strategies to tackle optimization problems in the ParityQC Architecture for these hardware platforms.

 

Required Skills & Experience

  • PhD degree in physics or related subject
  • Deep understanding of one of these hardware platforms: neutral atoms (Rydberg atoms), superconducting circuits, spin qubits or trapped ions
  • Deep understanding of quantum computation and quantum information
  • Programming skills, in particular Python
  • High degree of creativity and proactiveness
  • Ability to work in a self-initiated and independent way
  • Experience in research
  • Fluency in English

Preferred Experience

  • German skills are a plus, but not required

 

What we offer

We are a spin-off working in one of the most exciting emerging technology fields. There are no long-time proven concepts on what we are doing – we need to invent everything from scratch, and we are therefore able to shape a whole new generation of quantum computers. We are pioneers in this field and develop the blueprints for the upcoming generations. The position will allow you to  conduct research and publish in peer-reviewed journals.

Why ParityQC?

  • Excellent work-life balance
  • Flexible working hours with home office options
  • An innovative and international working environment
  • Motivated team, friendly atmosphere, flat hierarchies
  • Continuous training and encouragement of personal development

Hard Facts

  • Job: full time
  • Remuneration based on experience
  • Place: Innsbruck or Hamburg
