Quantinuum is hiring a physicist for its Broomfield, Colorado site to improve how QCCD trapped-ion quantum computers operate and perform. Embedded in the system integration team, the person interprets experimental data, builds and validates physical models, and uses that analysis to improve quantum operations. The posting asks for a theoretical background in atomic physics and quantum computing, plus hands-on understanding of experimental hardware, numerical simulation, and data analysis. The goal is measurable gains in fidelity, reliability, and throughput; safety-sensitive positions require a pre-employment drug test.
