Introduction

IBM Research takes responsibility for technology and its role in society. Working in IBM Research means you'll join a team who invent what's next in computing, always choosing the big, urgent and mind-bending work that endures and shapes generations. Our passion for discovery, and excitement for defining the future of tech, is what builds our strong culture around solving problems for clients and seeing the real world impact that you can make.

IBM's product and technology landscape includes Research, Software, and Infrastructure. Entering this domain positions you at the heart of IBM, where growth and innovation thrive.

 

Votre rôle et vos responsabilités

The QEC Infrastructure team within IBM Quantum is developing tools to design, characterize, and simulate candidate decoders, syndrome circuits, and logical gate implementations for our fault tolerant systems under realistic hardware noise models. As a Quantum Error Correction Research Software Developer, you will be working to build tools to explore novel techniques and device capabilities, and how their combination can enable large scale fault tolerant quantum computation.

 

In this role you will be investigating, implementing, and maintaining libraries of decoding algorithms, syndrome circuits, logical gate implementations, and scalable simulation tools for evaluating their combined performance under realistic models of device noise. You will be developing noise models to predict the performance of current and future systems and refining them as both our understanding of device physics and the devices themselves continue to evolve. You will collaborate closely with an interdisciplinary team of theorists, experimentalist, and hardware and software engineers to evaluate and influence the design of current and future IBM Quantum systems.
