Theoretical Quantum Physicist

Theoretical Quantum Physicist

Available position (permanent, 40 hour per week). Working at Nord Quantique.

We are actively seeking a talented individual to contribute to devising pathways to bridge the gap between the requirements for large-scale fault‑tolerant quantum computing and our current experimental implementation of quantum error correction based on bosonic codes. The primary focus will be on the theory and simulation team.

• Design of bosonic error‑correction and computation schemes: exploit all the rich physics of bosonic qubits to design better error‑correcting protocols to scale more efficiently toward fault‑tolerant quantum computing. This includes designing new error‑correcting codes as well as improving the physical implementation of existing codes. Investigate ways to improve computation schemes using bosonic qubits.
• Numerical simulation of large‑scale quantum circuits: simulate realistic noise models and control strategies in large‑scale quantum circuits, requiring innovative problem‑solving to scale our simulation abilities.
• Software Development: develop essential code to bolster our research and development tools.
• Collaboration:
  
  engage in mission‑critical projects that involve collaborations across all teams in Nord Quantique. Effective communication and strong organizational skills are required as you will be an integral part of a team‑driven approach to problem‑solving.

• Academic and/or industry research experience in quantum computing or adjacent fields.
• Experience in coding and numerical research.
• Strong organizational skills.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills.

• Experience with practical near‑term implementations of quantum error correction, quantum error correction and fault‑tolerant quantum computation, bosonic quantum error‑correcting codes, circuit quantum electrodynamics, near‑term and fault‑tolerant quantum algorithms, quantum control.
• Experience with software development and software best practices.
• Experience with high‑performance computation.
• Experience working with experimental teams.

• Adaptability: ability to adapt to rapidly changing environments.
• Team‑oriented mindset: collaboration is key in scientific and quantum computing research.
• Thorough and systematic: attention to detail, thoroughness, and a systematic approach to problem‑solving.
• Prioritization and coordination: ability to prioritize tasks and coordinate actions, especially when working with multiple stakeholders.

• 5 weeks of vacation.
• Group insurance (including dental care).
• Virtual care.
• Lifestyle spending account (available after 3 months of service).
• Relocation compensation package and competitive salaries.
