Job details

Senior Research Scientist, Quantum AI

Minimum qualifications:

  • PhD degree in Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 2 years of experience in leading a research agenda.
  • Experience in coding with Python, JavaScript, R, Java, or C++.
  • Experience in theoretical quantum physics (e.g., quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, condensed matter physics).
  • Experience with research and development, algorithms and optimization, implementing numerical optimization methods designed for inventory and supply-chain network optimization.
  • One or more scientific publication submissions for conferences, journals, or public repositories.

Preferred qualifications:

  • Experience in performing numerical simulations of quantum systems and research publications with documenting results.
  • Experience in developing research program in classical simulation for different quantum phenomena (e.g., electronic structure, condensed matter, ab-initio representations, multiscale modeling).
  • Experience in developing new numerical methods for standard computational problems (e.g., eigen/singular value estimation, linear/non-linear optimization, etc.).
  • Knowledge of quantum computing by at least one publication in the field that highlights development of numerical techniques for quantum algorithm design, classical simulation of quantum systems, or computational assessment of a physical theory.

About the job:

As an organization, Google maintains a portfolio of research projects driven by fundamental research, new product innovation, product contribution and infrastructure goals, while providing individuals and teams the freedom to emphasize specific types of work. As a Research Scientist, you'll setup large-scale tests and deploy promising ideas quickly and broadly, managing deadlines and deliverables while applying the latest theories to develop new and improved products, processes, or technologies. From creating experiments and prototyping implementations to designing new architectures, our research scientists work on real-world problems that span the breadth of computer science, such as machine (and deep) learning, data mining, natural language processing, hardware and software performance analysis, improving compilers for mobile platforms, as well as core search and much more.

As a Research Scientist, you'll also actively contribute to the wider research community by sharing and publishing your findings, with ideas inspired by internal projects as well as from collaborations with research programs at partner universities and technical institutes all over the world.

In this role, you will be working on the development of extensive software tools to facilitate the composition, analysis and compilation of quantum algorithms. You will also benchmark classical algorithms for a given application in order to delineate quantum advantage and domain research to elucidate the exact problem parameters that would unlock real value.The full potential of quantum computing will be unlocked with a large-scale computer capable of complex, error-corrected computations. Google Quantum AI's mission is to build this computer and unlock solutions to classically intractable problems. Our roadmap is focused on advancing the capabilities of quantum computing and enabling meaningful applications.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is $166,000-$244,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. 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:

  • Scope new problem classes, instances, or applications of quantum computers where a significant computational advantage can be obtained and develop a research program to expand further.
  • Collaborate with researchers to translate theoretical insights into practical numerical studies and contribute to the development of software tools and computational frameworks for quantum algorithm analysis.
  • Define ways to simulate quantum systems redefining the quantum supremacy boundary.
  • Develop red-team algorithmic strategies and optimize quantum circuit implementations. Manage necessary classical preprocessing to optimize circuit costs.
