Quantum Error Correction Research Scientist

Google Quantum AI is at the forefront of quantum computing innovation, working to build revolutionary large-scale quantum computers capable of solving problems that are impossible for classical computers. As a Quantum Error Correction Research Scientist, you'll join an elite team focused on advancing quantum computing capabilities through error correction research.

The role combines cutting-edge theoretical research with practical implementation, where you'll work on inventing and improving quantum error correction protocols, including logical gates and decoding algorithms. You'll be particularly focused on codes that can be implemented with superconducting qubits, such as topological codes and LDPC codes.

Working closely with software engineers, research scientists, and hardware engineers, you'll develop critical software for error correction and help design/implement experiments. Your research will directly impact the development of practical quantum computing systems. The position offers competitive compensation ($136,000-$200,000) plus bonus, equity, and benefits.

This is an exceptional opportunity for someone with a PhD and strong research background in quantum computing or error correction. You'll be contributing to groundbreaking work at one of the world's leading quantum computing research teams, with the chance to publish your findings and present at major conferences.

The role is based in either Goleta or Los Angeles, CA, where you'll collaborate with world-class researchers and engineers. If you're passionate about pushing the boundaries of quantum computing and have the technical expertise to contribute to this cutting-edge field, this position offers the perfect platform to make a significant impact in quantum computing technology.
