About the job
The goal of the quantum algorithms team is to identify and discover the most promising applications of quantum computers, and to push the development of the quantum algorithms that enable those applications. We work closely with the quantum error-correction team to estimate and optimize the resources that would be required to realize these calculations on a fault-tolerant quantum computer. We also work closely with experimentalists on our team to implement some of our algorithms on existing quantum processors.
Research happens at Google everyday, on many different embedded teams throughout the company. Our research reaches the user through both services and products such as Search, Maps, Google Assistant, Google Translate, Google Cloud and our computing, storage, and networking infrastructure. To achieve this, we’re working on a wide variety of projects that utilize the latest state-of-the-art technologies that push the boundaries of what is possible.
Responsibilities
- Lead a team of scientists to conduct research bridging Google’s efforts in quantum algorithms and quantum error-correction.
- Conduct research on developing and analyzing applications of error-corrected quantum computers, and find more efficient ways to realize those calculations within quantum error-correction.
