Research Scientist - Quantum Computing

We are seeking Research Scientists for our quantum research team in Singapore

The Quantinuum office in Singaporeis a hub for scientific discovery and cutting-edge research that will inspire quantum solutions to the world's most complex problems in fields including for example computational biology, finance, chemistry, and optimization. Working in close partnership with Singapore's National Quantum Office (NQO), Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), National University of Singapore (NUS), Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT),and National Supercomputing Centre (NSCC), the center will cater to fostering Singapore's growing quantum computing ecosystem, offering a platform to co-develop use cases and quantum algorithms for implementation on local quantum computing hardware.

Our team members regularly publish scientific papers and present their results at leading conferences. In this role, you will work in a collaborative environment and contribute to advancing our state-of-the-art quantum computing stack. You will also engage with our academic and industry partners.

Key responsibilities:

Conduct research on new quantum algorithms for areas including biology, finance, chemistry, and optimization models

Develop and implement novel quantum algorithms integrated with early fault-tolerant protocols and error correction or detection primitives

Contribute to end-to-end resource estimation of quantum algorithms under realistic hardware constraints

Communicate scientific results internally across teams and externally through publications and conference presentations

Engage with clients on projects in the above mentioned areas

Must Have

PhD in a relevant field (physics, mathematics, computer science etc.)

Research experience in quantum algorithms, along with demonstrated expertise in at least one of the following areas: quantum algorithm design and optimization, realistic noise models of quantum hardware, quantum error correction, and(partially) fault-tolerant protocols

We value

Demonstrated research track record via publications in a relevant field

Deep knowledge of quantum computing and quantum algorithm design

Hands-on experience with implementing quantum algorithms on simulators or hardware

Excellent written and oral communication skills

Programming skills in a high-level language such as Python and relevant tools such as pytket, Qiskit etc.
