Job description

Summary

QuEra is seeking a deeply technical and theoretically grounded algorithms researcher to help advance the frontier of quantum computing. This role focuses on developing novel algorithms and quantum computational techniques inspired by and tailored to the capabilities of neutral-atom quantum devices.

A strong candidate will bring deep expertise in quantum algorithm design and quantum information theory. As part of your role, you will lead research efforts that explore the boundaries of quantum advantage, investigate computational hardness and resource tradeoffs, and prototype algorithms that could run on QuEra's hardware. You will also collaborate closely with hardware and software teams to guide the co-design of algorithms and architectures, and shape the roadmap for algorithmic utility on neutral-atom systems.

Key Responsibilities

  • Conduct original research in quantum algorithms, quantum algorithm complexity, and quantum information theory.
  • Design and analyze new quantum algorithms with demonstrable computational advantage.
  • Explore and classify algorithmic primitives aligned with neutral-atom capabilities.
  • Collaborate with the applications team to optimize performance under realistic architectural constraints.
  • Evaluate the landscape of quantum algorithm benchmarks and influence the development path for practical quantum utility on QuEra's platform.

Qualifications

  • PhD in Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics, or a related discipline with specialization in quantum computing.
  • Strong research record in quantum algorithms or quantum information theory, as evidenced by top-tier publications or equivalent contributions.
  • Familiarity with core quantum algorithmic techniques (e.g., amplitude amplification, phase estimation, Hamiltonian simulation, and quantum arithmetic primitives).
  • Deep understanding of quantum computational models and algorithmic complexity.
  • Strong communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Postdoctoral or industrial experience in quantum computing, especially in algorithm design.
  • Experience in using software packages for fault-tolerant quantum algorithms research and quantum resource estimation (e.g. Qualtran).
  • Strong software engineering skills.

The approximate base salary range for this position is $145,600 - $227,500.

We consistently monitor external market data and update base salary ranges accordingly.  We determine base compensation decisions on several factors, including as geographic placement, role-specific knowledge, skills, and/or experience.  In addition to our base salary offerings, we also provide equity grants for all new hires.

QuEra is committed to cultivating a diverse work environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We highly value diversity in our current and future employees and do not discriminate (including in our hiring and promotion practices) based on race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
