How to prepare for this application
- Pick your best algorithm result: prepare a 10-minute account with the resource estimates that made it credible.
- AI for algorithm discovery: read recent work on learning ansätze or circuit synthesis so you can discuss where AI helps.
- Partnership skills: the role is collaboration-heavy, so bring examples of joint projects you led.
- HPC fluency: revise how quantum simulations scale across GPUs and nodes.
- Platform: try CUDA-Q on a small example before the interview.
About NVIDIA's quantum computing group
NVIDIA builds accelerated computing hardware and software, and its quantum computing group works on the classical side of quantum computers: GPU-accelerated simulation, error-correction decoding, calibration and control. Its open platforms include CUDA-Q for hybrid quantum-classical programming and the cuQuantum SDK for simulation, and the group works with supercomputing centres and quantum hardware builders rather than building its own qubits.
