Quantum Applications Software Developer - PsiQuantum

PsiQuantum is on a mission to build the world’s first utility-scale, 1 million-plus qubit quantum computer, powered by breakthroughs in silicon photonics and quantum architecture. We were founded in 2015 by the world’s foremost experts in photonic quantum computing and have assembled a world class team dedicated to bringing the world-changing benefits of quantum computing into reality.

Quantum computing is anticipated to unlock the solutions to otherwise impossible computational tasks, with impact across science, technology, and business. By harnessing the laws of quantum physics, quantum computers are expected to dramatically outperform even the most powerful existing (or future) supercomputers and offer the potential to enable extraordinary advances across a broad range of applications including climate, energy, healthcare, finance, agriculture, transportation, materials design, and more, as well as deliver entirely new industries.

PsiQuantum is uniquely positioned to deliver on the promise of quantum computing. We have already demonstrated that it’s possible to manufacture core quantum components using the standard and scalable manufacturing processes of a world-leading semiconductor fab.

Our team is working across the full stack of quantum computing, from hardware design, manufacturing, and packaging through to quantum architecture and quantum algorithms. We’re a highly integrated, collaborative group and love tackling problems that span across interfaces.

There’s more work to be done and we are looking for exceptional talent to join us on this extraordinary journey!

Job Summary:

PsiQuantum’s applications team is uniquely focused on algorithms in the fault tolerant regime and is very tightly integrated with quantum architecture development. Within that team, the role of a quantum applications software engineer is to design, build and deploy tools which drive the development of quantum applications for solving the world’s most pressing problems. As a crucial member within the team, a quantum application software engineer’s job is to work closely with quantum applications architects and engineers to develop software toolkits and workflows, without which the team could not do their job. Such tools include (but are not limited to): quantum simulators, quantum resource estimators, quantum circuit compilation, and domain-specific quantum application integration. This work takes quantum algorithms from concept to reality, may involve close collaboration with external partners on specific use cases, and directly enables the discovery of both new quantum application use-cases and novel algorithmic techniques.
