Summary
PsiQuantum is focused on building the first useful quantum computers and is seeking an intern for their quantum architecture team. The role involves contributing to the development of a full-stack quantum computing architecture, working on topics such as fault tolerance, linear optical networks, and simulation methods.
Responsibilities
- Develop and study methods for fault-tolerant FBQC.Project topics could include: linear optical networks, FBQC protocols, quantum error correcting codes, decoding methods, simulation and modelling methods
- Model the origin and propagation of errors
- Simulate and benchmark different protocols
- Document and communicate results
Skills
- Degree in Physics, Math or Computer Science or equivalent required
- Currently studying for, or completed a postgraduate degree related to linear optics, fault tolerance or another aspect of quantum computing
- Knowledge of quantum information is required
- Experience programming in Python, C++ or similar languages
- A creative and adaptable approach to problem solving
- Ability to work effectively in a highly collaborative team
- Familiarity with some of the following is desirable: quantum networks, graph states, stabilizer methods, quantum error-correcting codes, linear optical quantum computing, error modelling, graphical calculus (e.g, tensor networks, ZX calculus)
- Competent use of collaborative software development tools (e.g., GitHub) is desirable
