Toronto, Ontario, Canada Xanadu Full time

About Xanadu:
Xanadu's mission is to build quantum computers that are useful and available to people everywhere.

At Xanadu, we are learners, innovators, researchers, collaborators and problem solvers. We are creating something that has never been built before. Few people in their life will be able to be a part of something like this, where if we are successful, the technologies we develop will solve some of the world's most challenging problems, and literally change the world. And that is something to be excited about

Your role and responsibilities:
In this role you will help develop the numerical toolkit for fault-tolerant photonic quantum computing architectures. Improvements to the scalability and performance of the architectures can enter anywhere in the stack, requiring a broad understanding of Xanadu's public architecture and its iterations, but the focus will be on the logical (quantum error-correction) layers. Although you can expect some analytical work at various levels of abstraction, from optical circuits to qubit quantum error correction, the focus will be on the development of our in-house software tools. This will involve using, maintaining, optimizing, and introducing new features to the existing fault-tolerant software stack to run large-scale error-correction simulations for the purpose of evaluating performance and estimating resources.

Basic qualifications and experience:

MSc. in Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or Engineering, especially in topics relevant to quantum information theorySeveral years of research or industry experience in related fieldsStrong experience with object-oriented programming in PythonExperience with high-performance computing, including writing and running optimized and parallelized code on supercomputers and computing clustersExperience with software engineering best practices: testing, continuous integration, version control, documentation, and code reviewFamiliarity with quantum computation theory, including quantum error correction under various noise models, codes, and decodersFamiliarity with the optical platform for quantum computation, especially bosonic codes such as GKP states and the continuous-variable formalismGreat communication skills, and the ability to clearly express complex technical concepts

Preferred qualifications and experience:

Up-to-date knowledge of the latest developments in quantum computing and error-correctionSome knowledge of measurement-based quantum computationSome experience programming in low-level languages (e.g., C, C++)Familiarity with and experience working in a fast-growing technology start-up environmentPhD in Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics, or Engineering is an asset This is for a new position. Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and internal benchmarks. The base salary range is 120, ,000 CAD. You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
