- Ph.D. in theoretical physics, computer science, mathematics, or a related field, or demonstrably equivalent experience. •
- Strong background in quantum computing, quantum information, and classical computer science, including algorithm design, complexity and machine learning theory. •
- Expert knowledge of quantum algorithms, including quantum signal processing, quantum phase estimation, linear combination of unitaries and amplitude amplification, as well specific quantum machine learning knowledge (e.g.
- Proficiency with python, quantum programming frameworks (e.g., Qiskit, Cirq, Qrisp) as well as standard software development practices (git/Github/Gitlab, unit testing, code clarity + standardisation). •
- An ability to communicate complex technical concepts and results to audiences ranging from non-technical to experts in the field. •
- Experience in leading collaborations, as well as providing technical contributions to cross-discipline projects. •
- Knowledge of quantum error correction and superconducting architectures. •
- experience applying theoretical tools to practical problems, such as classical shadows, MPS/ tensor network approximations, or dynamical Lie algebras. •
- Experience contributing to or producing mature software libraries, either for open-source or product purposes. Why IQM? •
