As a Quantum Research Scientist, you will develop quantum error correction (QEC) schemes for fault-tolerant quantum computing, specifically focusing on superconducting qubits and high-connectivity platforms. You will develop and analyze QEC for modular architectures, addressing challenges such as entangling links between chips that are slower or more faulty than on-chip gates. Your role involves developing fault-tolerant circuits for logical gates while navigating hardware tradeoffs on connectivity and engineering higher accuracy decoding algorithms for high-connectivity codes, such as Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes. Beyond the technical design, you will contribute to the wider research community by sharing and publishing your findings.

Develop new quantum codes that achieve high encoding rate, high distance, and/or favorable layout in hardware. Important examples include LDPC codes and yoked encoding schemes.

Adapt error correction circuits to hardware constraints on connectivity.

Analyze fault-tolerant circuits for syndrome measurement and logical operations.

Simulate quantum codes under noise models and evaluate performance.
