As a QEC Researcher at Riverlane, your work will vary and will include:  

  • Read and discuss academic papers with your teammates, identifying the most important and scalable results 
  • Learn about new approaches to quantum error correction, coming up with new decoding algorithms, or modifying existing ideas as a result 
  • Collaborating with HW engineers to implement protocols and algorithms in the QEC stack 
  • Sharing expertise and collaborate with other teams at Riverlane to guide development of various parts of the QEC stack. 
  • Writing papers and present work at conferences

Requirements

What we need  

  • MSc in Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, or a related technical field (or equivalent professional experience)  
  • Proven ability to undertake high-quality theoretical or technical work (for example, through a Master’s thesis, internship, or publication)   
  • Ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team  
  • Passion for translating academic expertise into an applied industrial setting. 
  • Strong written and oral communication skills, with the ability to discuss complex ideas with a variety of audiences in a clear and simple way  
  • Knowledge of Python and/or C++ 

Even better if you have…  

  • Knowledge of classical and/or quantum decoding algorithms 
  • QEC experience evidenced by internships or publications 
  • Experience running experiments on quantum computers
