Job description
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
