Atom Computing

At Atom Computing, we’re building quantum computers using arrays of optically trapped neutral atoms that will empower customers to achieve unprecedented computational breakthroughs. Work alongside our Quantum Engineering, Control Systems, and Software teams to demonstrate the power of scalable, neutral-atom quantum computers.

We are seeking a software engineer with some background in quantum error correction or quantum information theory to contribute to the architecture and strategy of error correction in neutral atom quantum computers. Atomic qubit arrays provide a path to the large-scale quantum computers that will deliver fault-tolerant, error-corrected logical qubits.

Job Responsibilities:

• Developing and optimizing software tools to support:
• Research related to quantum error correcting codes and fault-tolerance
• Designing and implementing demonstrations of fault-tolerant quantum computation
• Real-time decoding and classical feedforward during fault-tolerant quantum computation
• Analyzing data generated from quantum hardware performing error corrected computation
• Simulation of fault-tolerant quantum computation
• Resource estimation for fault-tolerant quantum applications

Experience & Education

• PhD in Physics, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field

Qualifications

• Must have previous experience developing software for quantum computers in industry and/or academia and a solid grasp of quantum computing and quantum information concepts.
• Previous experience building software related quantum error correction, and experience with one or more of the following quantum software frameworks: Stim, Qiskit, Cirq.
• Coding proficiency in Python, one or more compiled languages such as Rust, C, or C++, and familiarity with Git version control.
• Documented ability to translate research results into functional production code.
• Ability to effectively collaborate with software developers, physicists, and engineers in complementary disciplines.
• Temperamentally suited to work at a fast-growing, early-stage startup: self-motivated, humble, driven, collaborative, and with a high tolerance for ambiguity and uncertainty.
• Willingness to learn AMO physics or quantum mechanics concepts as required.

Atom Computing Denmark provides a variety of benefits, including private medical for our employees and their children, paid time off, a pension plan (with company contribution), disability and life insurance.

Atom Computing Denmark offers a competitive salary commensurate with experience. In addition to salary, we offer an annual bonus and equity in the company.
