Quantum Algorithm Developer

Siegen Full-time

eleQtron develops and operates full-stack quantum computers based on trapped-ion technology. Quantum computing is a new computing paradigm rapidly approaching commercial viability. Our unique approach combines laser-cooled trapped ions with microwave control and tailored magnetic fields. Our next-generation computing machines under development will be able to find solutions to problems that are out of reach today, thus enabling new innovative products and services for a brighter future.

We are looking for a Quantum Algorithm Developer

Responsibilities/What will you be doing?

You will be part of a team with a mission to develop, set up and operate our trapped-ion quantum computers and relevant test devices. You will collaborate closely with our international team of physicists and engineers from different disciplines. Depending on your level of experience, you will work on one or more of the following tasks:

• Implementing techniques for gate decomposition and optimization on Hardware

• Implementing software to generate optimized gate sequences for the ion trap

• Experience with writing codes that can be utilized by others.

• Have up-to-date knowledge of the state-of-the-art ongoing research in different Quantum platforms for Benchmarking.

• Architecture and strategy development of the Ion-Trap compiler

• Contribute to the team’s research and development in quantum algorithms for future applications.

Required/What skills do you need?
PhD or master’s degree inQuantum Information Processing (QIP) , Physics (theoretical), mathematics, or software engineering related subject with a focus on quantum computation.
