Experience in one or more of the following areas is required for this position:

  • Quantum channels and representation, manipulation, and distance measures for channels that describe quantum dynamical processes in unitary and open quantum systems.
  • Models of noise and error in quantum devices at the device and operator level
  • Simulation methods to include simulation of open quantum systems, non-Markovian noise, and Monte Carlo trajectory methods
  • Methods to optimize simulation codes to include: use of reduced complexity Pauli/Clifford error channels, and advanced computational techniques to parallelize and speedup computational codes.
  • Quantum Characterization Verification & Validation (QCVV)

Requirements

PhD (or a MS and 5+ years experience or BS and 10+ years  experience) in Physics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related field. Must have a strong background in theoretical quantum information science, as well as experience in computational modeling and simulation. The ability to develop software in programming languages such as: C++, Python, Matlab, and/or Mathematica is required. Knowledge of simulation tools such as: STIM, QuTip, etc. is desired. Experience with high-performance and accelerated (GPUs) computing is desired.
