Quantum Computing Research Scientist

Google Quantum AI is seeking a Quantum Computing Research Scientist to join their team. The role involves performing research to invent new protocols or improve existing protocols for quantum computing and quantum error correction. The ideal candidate will have a PhD in Physics, Computer Science, or a related field, with 6 years of experience in research agendas across multiple teams or projects.

Key responsibilities include:

• Studying quantum error correction schemes using theory and simulation software
• Developing theory to validate and benchmark operations on logical qubits
• Studying phases of matter and their connection to quantum fault tolerance
• Presenting research findings in technical talks and journal publications

The role offers a competitive salary range of $237,000-$337,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Google Quantum AI's mission is to build a large-scale quantum computer capable of complex, error-corrected computations to unlock solutions to classically intractable problems.

Google is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, providing equal employment opportunities to all qualified candidates. The company offers a collaborative work environment with the freedom to emphasize specific types of research work while contributing to the wider research community.

This is a remote-eligible position based in California, USA, allowing for flexibility in work location while being part of Google's hybrid workplace model.
