Key skills for this role
Develop fault-tolerant logical operations for quantum LDPC codes and other code families relevant to Photonic's architecture, using techniques such as homomorphic measurements, and generalized lattice surgery
Produce logical primitives (e.g., logical Pauli measurements, entangling gates, magic state injection) for various code families, suitable for integration into the quantum compiler stack
Analyze and optimize the resource requirements of proposed logical operation schemes, including ancilla qubits, circuit depth/time steps, and magic state factory requirements
Develop and validate decoding strategies compatible with proposed logical operations
Leverage the theory of covering spaces, chain complexes, and homological algebra to construct measurement protocols for general CSS and LDPC codes
Characterize the fault-tolerance properties (threshold, distance preservation, single-shot capability) of proposed schemes through rigorous analysis and numerical simulation
Collaborate with the compiler team to ensure logical primitives are compatible with the quantum compilation pipeline and can be efficiently scheduled
Collaborate with hardware, systems, compilers, and software teams to ensure logical operation designs align with hardware constraints, compiler interfaces, and system-level requirements
Translate theoretical results into engineering specifications and simulation-ready implementations
