**JOB DESCRIPTION**
Are you looking for an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic and growing team in a fast paced and challenging area? This is a unique opportunity for you to work with Global Technology Applied Research (GTAR) center at JPMorgan Chase & Co.. The goal of GTAR is to design and conduct research across multiple frontier technologies, in order to enable novel discoveries and inventions, and to inform and develop next-generation solutions for the firm’s clients and businesses.
- For area (i), theory of quantum computation: strong publication record in theory of quantum algorithms for optimization, stochastic modeling, numerical analysis, and machine learning
- For area (ii), quantum algorithms: experience in any of the following: (a) combining theoretical analysis with empirical evaluation of quantum algorithms, (b) compilation of algorithms to fault-tolerant architectures, (c) high-performance simulation of quantum computers
- For area (iii), quantum error-correction: experience in theoretical and/or practical aspects of error correction in the early fault-tolerant era.

**Responsibilities**:

- **Theory of Quantum Computation and Quantum Algorithms**:

- Provide novel research solutions to problems faced by internal project teams
- Collaborate with quantum algorithms researchers to investigate the potential for implementing your work on hardware
- **Quantum error-correction**:

- Advance the field of quantum error correction
- Work with the algorithm researchers on algorithm-specific error correction, resource estimation and experimental demonstrations of fault-tolerance
- Work with other researchers to document your findings in scientific papers and present them at conferences
- Contribute to JPMC’s IP by pursuing necessary protections of generated IP

**Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills**
- Ph.D. degree in Computer Science, Physics, Math, Engineering or related fields, plus at least 6 years of experience (Industrial or Academic)
- Demonstrated ability to lead research projects in quantum computing or related fields
- Experience managing a research group
- Experience in scientific technical writing
- Strong communication skills and the ability to present findings to a non-technical audience.

**Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills**
- Familiarity/Experience with quantum information, quantum complexity theory, and/or quantum error correction is desirable
- Experience in finance is a plus, though no prior familiarity with financial use cases is required

Additionally, for area (i), Theory of Quantum Computation:

- Experience in one or more following domains:

- Theory of quantum algorithmic speedups (query complexity upper and lower bounds, universal techniques such as phase estimation, quantum counting, quantum walks, LCU and QSVT)
- Analysis of quantum algorithms for optimization (e.g., QAOA, quantum adiabatic algorithm, quantum annealing, quantum walks )
- Quantum algorithms for machine learning (e.g., quantum algorithms for linear systems, PCA, classification)
- Quantum algorithms for linear algebra and numerical analysis (QSP, QSVT, and specific realizations)

For area (ii), Quantum Algorithms:

- Experience in one or more following domains:

- Quantum algorithms for optimization (e.g., QAOA, quantum adiabatic algorithm, quantum walks)
- Quantum algorithms for machine learning (e.g., quantum algorithms for linear systems, PCA, classification)
- Quantum linear algebra (e.g., LCU, QSVT)
- Compilation of quantum algorithms to fault-tolerant architectures
- Simulation of quantum algorithms (e.g., MPS, PEPS, tensor networks)
- High-performance computing (e.g., MPI, experience running computational tasks on 100+ nodes)

For area (iii), Quantum Error-Correction:

- Experience in one or more following domains:

- Quantum error correction and fault tolerance (e.g., qLDPC codes, QEC decoders)
- Compilation of quantum algorithms to fault-tolerant architectures
