Quantum Scientist - Quantum Error Correction and Decoding

Overview You will join a collaborative team to advance quantum error correction and decoding on QuEra’s unique hardware. You’ll develop and implement error-correcting protocols and decoding schemes for a Rydberg-atom quantum computer, working with academic and industry partners to address scalable fault-tolerant quantum computing challenges. Your work will span hardware-efficient schemes, fault-tolerant logic, and enabling fault-tolerant algorithms with these methods. This role combines deep theory with practical hardware integration to push the boundaries of quantum reliability.
