This role focuses on developing novel algorithms and quantum computational techniques inspired by and tailored to the capabilities of neutral-atom quantum devices.\n\nA strong candidate will bring deep expertise in quantum algorithm design and quantum information theory. As part of your role, you will lead research efforts that explore the boundaries of quantum advantage, investigate computational hardness and resource tradeoffs, and prototype algorithms that could run on QuEra's hardware. You will also collaborate closely with hardware and software teams to guide the co-design of algorithms and architectures, and shape the roadmap for algorithmic utility on neutral-atom systems.\n\nKey Responsibilities\n\nConduct original research in quantum algorithms, quantum algorithm complexity, and quantum information theory.\n\nDesign and analyze new quantum algorithms with demonstrable computational advantage.\n\nExplore and classify algorithmic primitives aligned with neutral-atom capabilities.\n\nCollaborate with the applications team to optimize performance under realistic architectural constraints.\n\nEvaluate the landscape of quantum algorithm benchmarks and influence the development path for practical quantum utility on QuEra’s platform.\n\nQualifications\n\nPhD in Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics, or a related discipline with specialization in quantum computing.\n\nStrong research record in quantum algorithms or quantum information theory, as evidenced by top-tier publications or equivalent contributions.\n\nFamiliarity with core quantum algorithmic techniques (e.g., amplitude amplification, phase estimation, Hamiltonian simulation, and quantum arithmetic primitives).\n\nDeep understanding of quantum computational models and algorithmic complexity.\n\nStrong communication skills.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\n\nPostdoctoral or industrial experience in quantum computing, especially in algorithm design.\n\nExperience in using software packages for fault-tolerant quantum algorithms research and quantum resource estimation (e.g. Qualtran).\n\nStrong software engineering skills.\n\nThe approximate base salary range for this position is $145,600 - $227,500.\n\nWe consistently monitor external market data and update base salary ranges accordingly.
