Intern, Quantum Algorithms and Compilation

Role Description

We are looking for enthusiastic candidates interested in applying quantum computing to real-world challenges. At PsiQuantum, we are particularly focused on use cases of quantum computing in chemistry, drug design, materials science, and fluid dynamics. Along these lines, we are offering internships in the areas of quantum algorithms and quantum compilation.

• Development of quantum algorithms to solve impactful problems
• Optimization of ubiquitous subroutines in fault tolerant quantum algorithms
• Compilation of quantum algorithms to logical gate sets
• Incorporation of architecture-aware optimizations
• Estimation of quantum resources

Prior work in the field of fault tolerant quantum algorithms and compilation is preferred, but enthusiasm for quantum computing is essential.

Qualifications

• Currently studying for, or completed a postgraduate degree related to quantum algorithms, quantum circuit compilation, fault tolerance or another aspect of quantum computing OR 5+ years working professionally in one or more of these fields
• Experience with programming languages (e.g. Python) and collaborative software development tools (e.g. Git)
• A creative and adaptable approach to problem solving
• Ability to work effectively in a highly collaborative team

Requirements

• Prior work in the field of fault tolerant quantum algorithms and compilation is preferred
