Job Description

Are you passionate about decoding the secrets of quantum information and applying them to cutting-edge technologies? Do you thrive at the intersection of quantum mechanics, mathematics, and computational science, designing groundbreaking solutions for communication, computing, and cryptography? If you’re ready to pioneer advancements in quantum information theory, our client has the ideal opportunity for you. We’re seeking a Quantum Information Scientist (aka The Information Revolutionist) to explore, innovate, and translate quantum information principles into transformative applications.

As a Quantum Information Scientist at our client, you’ll work with researchers, engineers, and developers to study quantum systems, develop information-theoretic models, and create solutions that push the boundaries of what’s computationally and communicatively possible.

Key Responsibilities:

  1. Develop and Analyze Quantum Information Models:
    Design theoretical models that explore the properties and behavior of quantum information, including quantum entanglement, entropy, and quantum error correction.
  2. Explore Applications of Quantum Information Theory:
    Investigate practical uses of quantum information in cryptography, quantum computing, and quantum communications. Contribute to the development of protocols such as QKD (Quantum Key Distribution).
  3. Collaborate on Quantum Algorithms and Protocols:
    Work with algorithm developers to integrate quantum information principles into quantum algorithms, enhancing efficiency and robustness.
  4. Contribute to Quantum Networking Research:
    Design and study protocols for quantum networks, including entanglement distribution and quantum teleportation. Help lay the foundation for a future quantum internet.
  5. Simulate and Validate Quantum Systems:
    Use simulation tools to model quantum systems and validate theories. Test system designs and evaluate their feasibility and scalability.
  6. Publish Research and Share Findings:
    Publish results in peer-reviewed journals, present at conferences, and contribute to the broader quantum science community. You’ll ensure our client is a leader in quantum information science.
  7. Stay Updated on Advances in Quantum Information:
    Keep abreast of the latest research and innovations in quantum information science, incorporating new methodologies into your work.

Requirements

Required Skills:

  • Deep Understanding of Quantum Mechanics: Proficiency in quantum information principles such as superposition, entanglement, and no-cloning.
  • Expertise in Information Theory: Strong foundation in entropy, coding theory, and error correction, with a focus on their quantum extensions.
  • Mathematical and Computational Skills: Advanced knowledge of linear algebra, probability, and optimization. Experience with tools like MATLAB, Python, or Wolfram Mathematica for modeling and analysis.
  • Experience with Quantum Platforms and Tools: Familiarity with quantum programming environments (e.g., Qiskit, Cirq) and hardware platforms like IBM Quantum and Google’s Sycamore.
  • Problem-Solving and Analytical Skills: Ability to address complex problems with innovative quantum information solutions.

Educational Requirements:

  • Ph.D. in Physics, Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related field. Equivalent research experience in quantum information science may be considered.
  • Peer-reviewed publications in quantum information or related areas are highly desirable.

Experience Requirements:

  • 5+ years of experience in quantum information research or development, with a proven track record of impactful publications or projects.
  • Experience working on interdisciplinary teams, integrating quantum theory with hardware and computational development.
  • Familiarity with quantum networking or cryptographic protocols is a plus.

Benefits

  • Health and Wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance plans with low co-pays and premiums.
  • Paid Time Off: Competitive vacation, sick leave, and 20 paid holidays per year.
  • Work-Life Balance: Flexible work schedules and telecommuting options.
  • Professional Development: Opportunities for training, certification reimbursement, and career advancement programs.
  • Wellness Programs: Access to wellness programs, including gym memberships, health screenings, and mental health resources.
  • Life and Insurance: Life insurance and short-term/long-term coverage.
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP): Confidential counseling and support services for personal and professional challenges.
