Quantum Scientist - Machine Learning and Quantum Error Correction

Overview In this role you will advance quantum error correction and decoding on QuEra’s hardware, leveraging machine learning to design and optimize QEC protocols. You’ll collaborate with a diverse, cross-disciplinary team to develop hardware-efficient schemes and fault-tolerant protocols for our Rydberg-atom quantum computer. You will help scale quantum error correction approaches, from protocol design to implementing fault-tolerant algorithms in collaboration with academic and industry partners. This position offers the chance to shape practical quantum error correction at scale and contribute to cutting-edge quantum computing solutions.
