Quantum Error Correction Researcher - European Union - Metric Geo

Description

Quantum Error Correction Theorist / Researcher

Join a pioneering team building the world's first scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computer.

My client are developing a next-generation quantum computing platform designed for high fidelity, connectivity, and scalability. Our system combines advanced qubit technology with real-time control and error correction, enabling the exploration of practical, fault-tolerant quantum computation.

They are seeking a Quantum Error Correction Theorist to push the limits of noise resilience and fault-tolerant computation. Your work will directly influence hardware evolution, algorithm performance, and progress toward practical, scalable quantum computing.

What you'll do

• Lead the development and analysis of quantum error correction (QEC) protocols tailored to next-generation hardware.
• Collaborate closely with hardware teams, quantum architects, and software engineers to translate theory into hardware-aware solutions.
• Design and run simulation models, benchmark QEC performance, and identify opportunities for error mitigation and resource optimization.
• Publish research, contribute to internal QEC roadmaps, and mentor team members.

What you bring

• PhD in Physics, Quantum Information, Mathematics, or a related field.
• Deep expertise in QEC theory (e.g., surface codes, LDPC codes, fault tolerance).
• Experience with quantum simulation tools (e.g., Qiskit, QuTiP, PennyLane).
• Ability to bridge theory and hardware constraints, translating abstract ideas into practical, implementable protocols.

Bonus

• Experience with superconducting qubits, spin qubits, trapped ions, or neutral atoms.
• Prior work in error mitigation, decoder design, or cryogenic hardware environments.

If you are driven to turn deep quantum theory into real-world, scalable quantum machines, we'd love to hear from you.
