Our work falls into three key thrusts: quantum computing with superconducting qubits, classical computing with single flux quanta in superconducting circuits, and quantum information science and algorithms. We also enable the broader US research enterprise via superconducting device foundries and open-source software development, and support the US Government as strategic Test and Evaluation partners and subject matter experts. Our interdisciplinary Group includes scientific experts in computer science, quantum information, device theory, materials science, fabrication and integration engineering, electrical and microwave engineering, and quantum physics. Job Description Our group at MIT Lincoln Laboratory seeks a full-time associate technical staff member to perform research is various aspects of quantum computer science. Areas of interest include: quantum circuit design and optimization, implementation and analysis of quantum error correction, design of syndrome decoding algorithms, and resource analysis of quantum implementations of logical circuits. The ideal candidate should be able to make contributions in one or more of the following areas: * Quantum computer architecture of near-term and future hardware platforms. * Design, optimization, parallelization, and trade-off analysis in the implementation of quantum circuits targeting commercial quantum computing platforms * Quantum error correction, fault-tolerance, and syndrome decoding * Development of compilation and simulation tools to enable the analysis of quantum architectures and circuits Requirements MS in Physics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related field, or a BS and 5+ years of related work experience. Must have a strong background in theoretical quantum computer science. Experience with quantum algorithms, quantum circuits, or quantum error correction is required. The ability to develop software in programming languages such as: C++, Python, Matlab, and/or Mathematica is required. Experience with high-performance computing is desired.
