Job description

The mission of the Quantum-Enabled Computation Group is to explore, prototype, and demonstrate transformative computational advantage by leveraging quantized and entangled signals. Our work falls into three key thrusts: quantum computing with superconducting qubits, classical computing with single flux quanta in superconducting circuits, and quantum information science and algorithms. We also enable the broader US research enterprise via superconducting device foundries and open-source software development, and support the US Government as strategic Test and Evaluation partners and subject matter experts. Our interdisciplinary Group includes scientific experts in computer science, quantum information, device theory, materials science, fabrication and integration engineering, electrical and microwave engineering, and quantum physics.

Position Description

The Quantum-Enabled Computation group at MIT Lincoln Laboratory seeks a full-time technical staff member with experience in quantum error correction to perform research on the design, implementation, and evaluation of current fault-tolerant schemes and their application to emerging quantum computing platforms. This researcher will work within a group that is performing research in various aspects of quantum computing including: quantum algorithms, quantum circuit implementation, resource estimation, and simulation of quantum error correction implementations in the presence of realistic error. Members of the Technical Staff are expected to mentor and supervise more junior researchers, lead small teams of colleagues, contribute to program development and management, and help shape future research directions.

Candidates should have experience in one or more of the following areas:

  • Design and analysis of quantum error correction (QEC) codes including: topological codes (e.g. surface codes), and qLDPC codes.
  • Mapping fault-tolerant implementations to physical hardware platforms and resource estimation of these implementations
  • Syndrome decoding algorithms and their implementation in software and on accelerator hardware (e.g. FPGAs, GPUs)
  • Simulation of the performance of QEC and fault-tolerant protocols using tools such as STIM and/or other simulators
  • Utilization of quantum software development environments, including: Cirq, Qualtran, QisKit, QuTip, etc.

Requirements

  • PhD in Physics, Computer Science, Mathematics or related field.
  • Strong background in quantum error correction and quantum computer science
  • Experience developing quantum circuits for QEC
  • Demonstrated ability to develop software in programming languages such as: C++, Python, Matlab, and/or Mathematica

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience in specific aspects of QEC research, as described above

Recent Graduate Hiring Range: $145,200-$170,000

Experienced Hiring Range: $145,200-$220,000
