Job Description

Welinq is hiring a quantum error correction researcher for its Algorithms and Distributed Quantum Computing Team in Paris. The team designs quantum algorithms for distributed and multi-core architectures, where several quantum processors are linked by a quantum network. Your focus will be distributed quantum error correction: making error correction work across networked processors with good scalability, fault tolerance and performance, and turning theory into practical implementations with Welinq’s hardware and software teams.

How to prepare for this application

  • Read recent work on distributed surface codes and on how noisy inter-module links affect error thresholds.
  • Prepare to present one of your error-correction results and how it would change with networked modules.
  • Show code you wrote for decoding or simulating error correction.
  • Look at Welinq's araQne and CUDA-Q announcement to see how its software side fits in.
