About This Role

About Us

We've developed a novel quantum error correction architecture with significant structural advantages over existing approaches, backed by formal mathematical proofs and initial hardware validation on a commercial photonic QPU. We're hiring our first experimental physicist to lead the full hardware demonstration program.

What You'll Do

• Implement and optimize a proprietary gate set on reconfigurable photonic processors

• Design and run hardware experiments to validate error correction performance

• Characterize gate fidelity, error rates, and correction thresholds on physical hardware

• Co-author publications on results

Requirements

• PhD in experimental physics, quantum optics, or photonic quantum computing

• Hands-on experience with reconfigurable photonic processors

• Experience with at least one of: Perceval, Strawberry Fields, PennyLane, or equivalent

• Published work in quantum optics or photonic quantum information

Pay: $65,000.00 - $75,000.00 per year

Work Location: Remote
