Research Scientist, Quantum Error Correction, Quantum AI

About the job

The Quantum Error Correction Theory team studies the design and implementation of error correction schemes, including logical gates and decoding algorithms. This team collaborates closely with experimentalists on implementing error correction with superconducting qubits, so research examines new quantum error correction schemes for this system or other qubit hardware, such as topological codes or LDPC codes.

As a Quantum Error Correction Research Scientist, you will perform research to invent new protocols or improve existing protocols for quantum error correction, such as compiling logical gates or implementing accurate decoding. In this role, you will collaborate closely with software engineers to develop and maintain the supporting software, and with other research scientists and hardware engineers in designing and implementing error correction experiments. You will present research findings in internal presentations, external presentations such as conferences, and in academic papers.

The full potential of quantum computing will be unlocked with a large-scale computer capable of complex, error-corrected computations. Google Quantum AI's mission is to build this computer and unlock solutions to classically intractable problems. Our roadmap is focused on advancing the capabilities of quantum computing and enabling meaningful applications.
