About the role

Research Scientist focused on pioneering techniques and workflow tools for running complex quantum applications, including quantum error mitigation, on Google's quantum processors. Involves prototyping, pathfinding for reconfigurable quantum workflows, and transitioning research prototypes to production-grade software tools.

Responsibilities

  • Drive the prototyping and pathfinding efforts for next-generation, reconfigurable quantum workflows in quantum computing experiments on processors, and how computations are done on a real, noisy quantum processor.
  • Own the end-to-end mission from initial concept to validated experimental results.
  • Partner closely with Theory, Experiment, and Software Engineering teams to integrate complex quantum systems into a cohesive application stack, including components like dynamical decoupling and quantum error mitigation.
  • Influence the long-term technical roadmap for quantum experiments, ensuring research breakthroughs translate into validated and scalable workflow tools.
  • Facilitate the transition of research prototypes to mature useful workflow tools.

Qualifications

  • PhD in Physics, Quantum Information, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 3 years of experience in scientific computing and the theoretical or numerical modeling of quantum systems.
  • Experience in software development and prototyping for quantum hardware (e.g., using Cirq, Qiskit, or similar frameworks).
