Quantum Error Correction Jobs (NOW HIRING)

HPE Labs - Senior QEC Researcher - Integrated HPC & Quantum SolutionsThis role has been designed as 'Hybrid' with a requirement that you will work on average 2 days per week from an HPE office.

Job Description:

The HPE Quantum team at HPE Labs is developing new approaches for quantum computing, including integration with high performance computing. As a Senior Research Engineer with a focus on Quantum Error Correction (QEC), you will be at the forefront of efforts to bring quantum computing from research to practical reality. You will conduct cutting-edge research in QEC, develop and extend quantum circuit compilation and simulation tools, influence HPC-QC architectural decisions, and publish your findings. You will work closely with a multidisciplinary team of engineers, researchers, and product managers to build usable, efficient, and innovative systems that combine quantum computing and high-performance computing.

Key Responsibilities:

• Evaluate and develop improvements to quantum error correction strategies, algorithms, and software to enable practical execution of applications on quantum hardware
• Develop software components to handle QEC details in quantum circuit compilation, emulation/simulation, and resource estimation
• Develop or integrate real-time decoder technologies into HPE's HPC-QC software stack
• Contribute to HPC-QC architecture decisions with detailed knowledge of quantum error correction strategies
• Create and demonstrate novel quantum error correction components and describe these in publications and presentations
• Extend open-source software and improve quantum circuit compilation and simulation capabilities
• Demonstrate workflow strategies for applications that combine high performance and quantum computing, and participate in standardization of key interfaces

Requirements:

• PhD degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, or Mathematics with a strong preference for quantum computing, computational science, or ML/AI expertise
• 10 or more years of programming experience
• 1 or more years of experience implementing software for quantum error correction (resource estimation, real-time decoding, circuit compilation)
• Advanced programming skills in low-level languages such as C, C++, or Rust, and advanced programming skills in Python
• Deep understanding of Quantum Error Correction codes including circuit compilation and decoding aspects, and deep understanding of Quantum Computing with skills in understanding and optimizing circuits
• Experience creating or extending quantum computing tools (e.g., Qiskit, CUDA-Q, TensorFlow Quantum, Pennylane)
• Experience contributing to large software projects, creating new software efforts, and designing library APIs
• Strong mathematical background with excellent skills in areas such as statistics, probability, and linear algebra

Knowledge and Skills:

• Excellent communication skills, capable of conveying complex ideas clearly and engaging with both technical and non-technical audiences in written form and in presentations
• Strong leadership, consensus-building, and stakeholder engagement skills with an outcome-focused mindset and a bias for action and delivery
• Creative and analytical thinking abilities with a passion for solving complex problems and a focus on quality and customer results
• Knowledge of applications of quantum computing, including quantum chemistry, quantum simulation, combinatorial optimization, or statistical physics
• Experience with HPC environments, cloud computing platforms, GPU computing, or FPGA computing
• Familiarity with AI/ML frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch) and solid understanding of machine learning algorithms and generative AI
• Strong track record of sharing findings with the broader scientific community, such as publishing research papers in top-tier journals and conferences
