Senior Staff Research Scientist, Quantum Error Correction, Quantum AI

About the role

Google Quantum AI's mission is to build a large-scale computer capable of complex, error-corrected computations. This role involves being a senior researcher on the quantum error correction team, exploring research directions including quantum LDPC codes and compact circuits for non-clifford gates.

Responsibilities

• Develop new quantum codes that achieve high encoding rate, high distance, or favorable layout in hardware.
• Develop new constructions for non-clifford logical gates.
• Analyze fault-tolerant circuits for syndrome measurement and logical operations.

Requirements

• PhD or equivalent experience in a domain relevant to quantum computing, such as math, physics, computer science, or electrical engineering.
• 10 years of experience in quantum computing research.
• Research publications in quantum error correction.

Preferred qualifications

• Experience in working with quantum error correction experiments.
• Experience writing software to simulate and study quantum error correction.
• Research publications in quantum LDPC codes, compiling fault-tolerant algorithms, and circuits for non-clifford gates.
