Job Description

At Atom Computing, we build quantum computers using arrays of optically trapped neutral atoms that will empower customers to achieve unprecedented computational breakthroughs. Work alongside our Quantum Engineering, Control Systems, and Software teams to demonstrate the power of scalable, neutral-atom quantum computers.

We are seeking a Senior Quantum Theorist to lead and contribute to a variety of projects that help with the development of neutral atom quantum computing. As a Senior Quantum Theorist at Atom Computing, you will join a team of talented scientists and engineers who are working to translate fundamental atomic physics to a scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computer.

Job Responsibilities:
  • Conduct independent and collaborative theoretical and computational projects that drive the understanding and development of neutral atom quantum computers.
  • Lead the development and operation of a variety of atomic physics simulations and translate them into high-quality, maintainable software solutions.
  • Collaborate with Quantum Applications Engineers, Error Correction Theorists, and AMO Theorists to model experimental results, develop noise models for quantum hardware, and contribute to the design of neutral-atom quantum computers.
  • Write clean, well-tested, and documented code in multiple languages (preferrably Python, Julia, or C++).
Experience & Education:
  • PhD in Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, Engineering, Computer Science or a related field.
  • 4+ years of experience with scientific, high-performance, or quantum computing.
Qualifications:
  • Deep understanding of atomic, molecular and optical physics.
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills, with published results within their field of research.
  • Technical expertise spanning qubit control, quantum optics, and atomic structure including master-equation modelling using QutiP, QuantumOptics.jl, Mathematica, or equivalent.
  • Solid understanding of modern software development practices: version control (Git/GitHub), unit testing, continuous integration, and documentation.
  • Public examples of past work that demonstrate coding quality and project delivery (e.g. via GitHub or equivalent).
  • Temperamentally suited to work at a fast-growing, early stage startup: self-motivated, humble, driven, collaborative, and has a high tolerance for ambiguity and uncertainty.

Atom Computing provides a wide variety of perks and benefits, including fully paid medical, dental, and vision insurance for our employees and their dependents. Additionally, unlimited paid time off, 401K company matching, short- and long-term disability, FSA, dependent care benefits, and life insurance. We also offer drinks, snacks, and catered team lunches in our offices, every day!

The base salary range for this position is between $150,000 - $175,000, commensurate with experience. In addition to salary, we offer an annual bonus and equity in the company.
