About the job

Google Quantum AI's mission is to build a large-scale computer capable of complex, error-corrected computations and unlock solutions to classically intractable problems. Our roadmap is focused on advancing the capabilities of quantum computing and enabling meaningful applications.

The Quantum Error Correction Theory team studies the design and implementation of error correction schemes, including logical gates and decoding algorithms. This team collaborates closely with experimentalists on implementing error correction with superconducting qubits, so research is focused towards codes that could be implemented in this system, such as topological codes or LDPC codes.

As a Quantum Error Correction Research Scientist, you will perform research to invent new protocols or improve existing protocols for quantum error correction, such as compiling logical gates and implementing accurate decoding. In this role, you will collaborate closely with software engineers to develop and maintain the supporting software, and with other research scientists and hardware engineers in designing and implementing error correction experiments. You will present research findings in internal presentations, external presentations such as conferences, and in academic papers.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is $136,000-$200,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. The range displayed on each job posting reflects the minimum and maximum target salaries for the position across all US locations. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process.

Please note that the compensation details listed in US role postings reflect the base salary only, and do not include bonus, equity, or benefits. Learn more about benefits at Google.

Responsibilities

Study quantum error correction schemes using theory and simulation software.
Develop software to implement quantum error correction operations like syndrome decoding.
Collaborate with other research scientists, software engineers, and hardware engineers.
Analyze data from quantum error correction experiments.
Present research findings in technical talks and journal publications.
