As of Sep 5, 2026, the average hourly pay for quantum computing research remote in the United States is $22.22, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $17.31 and $23.80 per hour, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What is a quantum computing researcher?

Quantum Computing Research Remote jobs involve conducting research and development in quantum computing while working from a remote location, rather than in a traditional office or laboratory. Professionals in these roles explore quantum algorithms, hardware, and software, and may collaborate with teams virtually across the globe. They often contribute to advancing quantum technologies, publish research findings, and develop new applications in areas like cryptography, optimization, and machine learning. These positions typically require a strong background in physics, computer science, or related fields, and proficiency in programming languages commonly used in quantum computing.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a quantum computing researcher?

To excel as a Quantum Computing Researcher (Remote), you typically need an advanced degree in physics, computer science, or a related field, with a deep understanding of quantum mechanics and algorithms. Familiarity with quantum programming languages (like Qiskit or Cirq), simulation tools, and experience with cloud-based quantum platforms are highly valuable. Strong problem-solving skills, self-motivation, and effective virtual communication are crucial soft skills for remote research collaboration. These competencies enable researchers to drive innovation, overcome complex challenges, and effectively contribute to global teams in a rapidly evolving field.

What are some typical challenges faced by remote quantum computing researchers, and how can these be addressed?

Remote quantum computing researchers often encounter challenges such as limited access to specialized hardware, the need for robust collaboration tools, and staying current with rapid advancements in the field. Many institutions address these by providing access to cloud-based quantum processors and fostering strong virtual communication channels within research teams. Building a routine for regular knowledge sharing, attending virtual conferences, and collaborating through code repositories can help remote researchers stay connected and productive.

What is the difference between Quantum Computing Research Remote vs Quantum Algorithm Developer?

AspectQuantum Computing Research RemoteQuantum Algorithm Developer
Required CredentialsAdvanced degrees in physics, computer science, or related fieldsSimilar advanced degrees, often with programming certifications
Work EnvironmentRemote research teams, academic or corporate labsRemote or on-site, focused on algorithm development and implementation
Employer & Industry UsageResearch institutions, tech companies, academiaTech firms, startups, research labs
Search & Comparison IntentUnderstanding remote research roles in quantum computingDeveloping and optimizing quantum algorithms remotely

Quantum Computing Research Remote involves conducting research in quantum computing from a remote location, often focusing on theoretical and experimental studies. Quantum Algorithm Developer, while similar, emphasizes creating and refining algorithms for quantum computers, which may also be done remotely. Both roles require advanced degrees and are prevalent in research and tech industries, but their core focus differs: research vs algorithm development.

Re-posted 19 days ago

Job description

D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NASDAQ: QBTS) is a leader in the development and delivery of quantum computing systems, software, and services. We are the world's first commercial supplier of quantum computers, and the only company building both annealing and gate-model quantum computers. Our mission is to help customers realize the value of quantum, today. Our quantum computers - the world's largest - feature QPUs with sub-second response times and can be deployed on-premises or accessed through our quantum cloud service, which offers 99.9% availability and uptime. More than 100 organizations trust D-Wave with their toughest computational challenges. With over 200 million problems submitted to our quantum systems to date, our customers apply our technology to address use cases spanning optimization, artificial intelligence, research and more. Learn more about realizing the value of quantum computing today and how we're shaping the quantum-driven industrial and societal advancements of tomorrow: www.dwavequantum.com.
You can read more about our company and our innovations in the pages of The Wall Street Journal, Time Magazine, Fast Company, MIT Technology Review, Forbes, Inc. Magazine, Wired and across many whitepapers.
At D-Wave, we're helping customers realize the value of quantum computing today and are shaping the quantum-driven industrial and societal advancements of tomorrow.
About the role
D-Wave is seeking a Staff Machine Learning Research Developer to work alongside our researchers, solutions architects, and software developers specializing in various domains (e.g., combinatorial optimization, graph theory, and quantum physics).
As a senior member of the Machine Learning Development team, you will have the opportunity to influence our product offerings. You will lead the architectural design and development of our software to enable researchers and solutions architects to rapidly prototype and experiment with quantum machine learning methods. In parallel, you will research and develop machine learning methods exploiting the optimization, sampling, and quantum simulation capabilities of quantum computers.
We are looking for intrinsically motivated individuals who want to make technological and tangible impacts at the intersection of quantum computing and machine learning.
What you'll do
  • Help the team align on best practices for machine learning systems and infrastructures, research, and products
  • Design and develop software for machine learning methods using annealing quantum computers
  • Research and develop machine learning methods exploiting optimization, sampling, and quantum simulation capabilities of annealing quantum computers
  • Communicate with leadership to identify quantum machine learning opportunities
  • Consistently and comprehensively document research findings for potential publications and for building D-Wave's internal knowledge base
  • Clearly and effectively communicate research findings and insights to other D-Wave teams
  • Influence and guide the quantum machine learning roadmap by providing technical feedback to leadership
  • Lead and deliver goals on the quantum machine learning roadmap
  • Quickly digest research papers, reproduce results, and prototype and develop novel quantum machine learning methods
