Infleqtion is hiring a quantum software engineer to work on quantum error correction for experimental gate-based quantum computers, mainly neutral-atom devices. The job involves developing and optimizing error-correcting protocols, analyzing them with mathematical models and numerical simulations, writing custom decoders, and helping identify and mitigate noise. The posting asks for a PhD in theoretical physics, mathematics, computer science or a related field, a strong publication record and scientific computing skills; postdoctoral or industry QEC experience is preferred. The role is on-site in Chicago and includes publishing and conference work.
