Theoretical Physicist – Qubits and Gate Dynamics

Quantum-Art is a full-stack quantum computing company developing state-of-the-art quantum computing systems based on trapped-ion technology, encompassing both hardware and software. As part of our mission, the Theory and Algorithms Group models and studies qubit dynamics in our quantum processing units (QPU) and develops novel quantum gates and coherent control schemes. We are seeking a highly skilled physicist to join this group.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, simulate, and validate gates and circuits.

• Develop tools for efficient characterization of QPU performance.

• Collaborate extensively with the QPU group in developing and operating scalable quantum computers.

Requirements and skills

• Ph.D. in Physics (exceptional candidates with an M.Sc. will be considered).

• Strong background in quantum technologies, quantum information processing, and quantum dynamics.

• Software development experience, including proficiency in Python, and experience in simulations and/or execution of circuits and gates.

• Background in AMO physics — an advantage.

• Background in computer science and algorithms — an advantage.

• Excellent analytical, numerical, problem-solving and teamwork skills.

General

• We are located at the Science Park, by the Weizmann Institute.

• Full collaboration with the experimental & theoretical groups at the Weizmann Institute.
