Base Career helps you apply smarter for this job.
As a QEC Researcher (Algorithms) at Riverlane, you’ll be part of one of our more forward-looking research-led science teams working on quantum algorithms and their implementation on future fault-tolerant quantum computers.
The team brings together mathematicians, physicists, and chemists, and works closely with leading researchers in quantum algorithms and QEC. A core part of the role is contributing to the academic community through publications and conference participation.
This role focuses on understanding how quantum algorithms perform in realistic fault-tolerant settings, taking into account practical error-correcting codes, hardware architectures and different qubit modalities.
Your work may include optimising quantum circuit compilation for specific QEC primitives, developing resource and cost models for fault-tolerant algorithms, and exploring co-design approaches that link algorithms, QEC schemes and hardware assumptions for early fault-tolerant devices.
You’ll collaborate closely with other QEC teams at Riverlane, including those working on logical operations, decoding and QEC code design across different qubit platforms.
Prior experience in QEC or quantum algorithms is helpful but not essential, we will support you to develop the relevant knowledge and skills.
Riverlane’s mission is to master quantum error correction (QEC) and unlock a new age of human progress. From advances in material and climate science, to complex chemistry simulation for new drug design, quantum computers will help humanity solve some of its most important challenges. But without QEC, the industry’s defining technical challenge, such breakthroughs can never be achieved. Riverlane is the world leader in QEC technology. QEC is a complex problem that requires a range of skills, talent and passion.
Having raised more than $125M in funding to date to accelerate our cutting-edge R&D in quantum error correction (QEC), Riverlane partners with many of the world’s leading quantum hardware providers and government agencies to make fault-tolerant quantum computing a reality. We’re making remarkable progress and growing fast.
