About the job
The full potential of quantum computing will be unlocked with a large-scale computer capable of complex, error-corrected computations. Google Quantum AI's mission is to build this computer and unlock solutions to classically intractable problems. Our roadmap is focused on advancing the capabilities of quantum computing and enabling meaningful applications. The mission of the Quantum High Performance Simulations (HPC) subteam is to support Quantum AI with tailored HPC tools, including large Hilbert space simulations and Tensor network algorithms. We address problems such as simulation of circuit quantum electrodynamics (e.g., systems of transmons, resonators), simulation of Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) experiments (e.g., large-scale quantum circuits, continuous time evolution), and Quantum Error Correction (QEC) decoding.
