Description

BlueQubit Inc. | San Francisco, California, USA (Remote/Hybrid options available)

About Us: BlueQubit is Silicon Valley’s first quantum algorithms lab, working at the frontier of quantum applications research for both the NISQ and fault-tolerant eras. Our mission is to achieve true quantum advantage — enabling quantum computers to solve scientific and commercial problems that are beyond the reach of even the most powerful classical supercomputers. Based in San Francisco, our team develops next-generation quantum algorithms, software, and computational tools designed to unlock practical value from quantum computing.

Job Responsibilities

  • Design and test novel quantum algorithms on state-of-the-art quantum computers, with the goal of demonstrating scientifically and commercially relevant quantum advantage.
  • Develop and benchmark algorithms for problems where quantum computers can outperform the best available classical methods and supercomputing resources.
  • Collaborate with team members across shared research projects and codebases

Required Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills

  • Ph.D. in Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics, or a related field.
  • At least five years of research experience, with a strong publication record in quantum computing or a closely related area.
  • Proficiency in Python and/or C/C++, with experience using quantum computing frameworks and software tools.
  • Experience running experiments on NISQ quantum hardware.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with quantum error mitigation techniques.
  • Experience with classical quantum simulation methods, including tensor networks, MPS, and PEPS.
  • Experience applying artificial intelligence (AI) to scientific discovery.
  • Nobel Prize

Why Join Us?

  • Work at the frontier of quantum algorithms and quantum advantage research.
  • Collaborate with a highly motivated team of researchers and engineers.
