Job description

We are seeking a Research Scientist for our Quantum Algorithms team in London.

Our team is leading the development, implementation, simulation, and application of quantum algorithms to computational problems of practical interest. We are seeking a research scientist with experience in designing, implementing and simulating quantum algorithms and an interest in applying those to real-world problems. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in at least one of our core research interests in applied quantum algorithms or in classical simulation methods. The successful candidate will contribute to ongoing research and implementation within a team of scientists and also contribute to industry collaborations. Our team members regularly publish scientific papers and present results at conferences.

Key responsibilities:

• Contribute to the team's research and development in quantum algorithms for future applications as well as in classical simulation methods, e.g. based on tensor networks, neural networks or (quantum) Monte Carlo methods
• Work with other teams to implement and tailor key quantum algorithmic or classical simulation primitives
• Contribute to industry R&D collaborations in applying quantum or quantum-inspired, classical algorithms to computational problems with a focus on solving partial differential equations
• Communicate scientific results within the company and externally via publications and presentations

Requirements:

• PhD in a relevant field (physics, mathematics, computer science etc.)
• Experience in quantum algorithms and their applications to computational problems or in classical simulation methods, e.g. tensor networks, neural networks or (quantum) Monte Carlo methods

What we value:

• Demonstrated research track record via publications in a relevant field
• Excellent spoken and written communication skills
• Experience with applications such simulating quantum systems, solving (nonlinear) partial differential equations, machine learning
• Familiarity with the implementation of quantum algorithms on simulators or quantum hardware
• Programming skills in a high-level language such as Python and relevant tools such as JAX, pytket, Qiskit etc.

What is in it for you?

Working alongside a highly talented team, with leading names in the quantum computing industry. We offer a highly competitive package, equity, 28 days of paid holiday (in addition to public holidays), a workplace pension, a positive approach to flexible working and enhanced parental and adoption benefits.

About Us:

Science Led and Enterprise Driven.

Our team of scientists is leading the way in the development of quantum computing. The world's largest integrated quantum computing company, we united Cambridge Quantum's advanced software development with Honeywell Quantum Solutions' high-fidelity hardware to accelerate quantum computing. With full-stack technology, we're scaling quantum computing and developing applications to solve the world's most pressing challenges. We could be even better with you!

At Quantinuum, we believe quantum information systems will revolutionize the way we work and live. We are leading the way by helping our customers develop quantum-enabled solutions that provide a competitive-edge in their markets. We're hiring the world's best talent to make it happen. Join us!

Please note that employment with us is subject to successfully passing our pre-employment screening checks. We are an inclusive equal opportunity employer. You will be considered without regard to age, race, creed, color, national origin, ancestry, marital status, affectional or sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, nationality, sex, or veteran status.
