Join Johns Hopkins APL as a Quantum Error Correction Scientist and engage in innovative research to advance quantum computing. Collaborate with a dynamic team to develop and evaluate quantum error correcting codes, addressing practical limitations and bridging knowledge gaps in the field.
Key Responsibilities
Investigate, improve, and design QECCs using physically relevant noise models
Perform modeling and trade-space studies of QECCs
Identify avenues for optimization and scalability of QECCs for specific quantum technology platforms
Investigate the propagation of low-level physical/device properties to errors in high-level logical operations
Work with experimentalists to identify and measure performance parameters of physical qubits and QECC primitives
Investigate the influence of QEC performance on quantum algorithms
Required Qualifications
PhD in Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or closely related field
2+ years of post-doctoral or equivalent experience in quantum information science
Experience with traditional QECCs, e.g., repetition code and surface codes
Experience with additional error protection schemes, such as dynamical decoupling and/or quantum error mitigation
Experience with high-performance computing
Experience working with experimentalists
Proven record of impactful research accomplishments
Active TS/SCI w/ Polygraph security clearance
