We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Quantum Algorithms Developer to join our Theory of Quantum Computation team. In this role, you will research and develop quantum algorithms, predominantly focused on quantum chemistry, while taking into account the features of Equal1 hardware and customer needs. You will engage in independent research and collaborate closely across the Algorithms and Hardware teams. The role requires a deep understanding of quantum computational theory, quantum chemistry, and the current landscape of both classical and quantum computing capabilities. MAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES - Research and development of modern quantum algorithms, predominantly aimed at quantum chemistry applications. - Simulation and implementation of quantum chemistry oriented quantum algorithms taking into account features of Equal1’s hardware platform, such as noise characteristics, qubit topology, and resource constraints. - Prepare research outputs for publication, conference presentation, and internal technical documentation. - Work with the Hardware team to optimise Equal1 hardware for algorithms. - Work with the Algorithms team to develop new algorithms. - Maintain continuous awareness of global developments in quantum algorithms, quantum information theory, and hybrid computation methods. - Participate in internal seminars and contribute to cross-functional knowledge exchange. EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS REQUIRED - A PhD in quantum computation, theoretical/mathematical physics, computer science or quantum chemistry, or similar work experience in industry. - A track record of publications and effective collaboration in research teams. - Min. 5 years of experience working in quantum computing. - Excellent verbal and written communication skills. - Ability to work at both the theoretical level and the practical level. - Good programming skills (preferably Python). DESIRED EXPERIENCE - Experience in working with semiconductor spin-based qubits. - Knowledge of hardware constraints for spin-based qubit systems and the ability to take them into account. - Experience with Quantum Chemistry-related algorithms (e.g. DFT, DMRG, etc.) - Knowledge in Quantum materials science and/or condensed matter physics. - Experience with Hamiltonian simulation, Quantum signal processing, QSVT.
