Quantum computing Jobs in Cambridge, MA

Introduction

At IBM, work is more than a job - it's a calling : To build. To design. To code. To consult. To think along with clients and sell. To make markets. To invent. To collaborate. Not just to do something better, but to attempt things you've never thought possible. Are you ready to lead in this new era of technology and solve some of the world's most challenging problems? If so, lets talk.

Your role and responsibilities

As an experimental research scientist with IBM Quantum, your job will be to advance the field of quantum computing by pushing the boundaries of what's possible on today's most advanced quantum hardware. You will develop and make first-of-a-kind demonstrations of new capabilities to extend the reach of IBM's quantum processors. You will also work with theorists, experimentalists, and software engineers to design and execute groundbreaking demonstrations at the advantage-scale, utilizing capabilities such as error mitigation and error suppression. Areas of interest for demonstrations include quantum simulation, chemistry, machine learning, high energy physics, condensed matter physics, and optimization.

Responsibilities include advancing the entire quantum computing technology stack and exploring applications to make quantum broadly usable and accessible. Collaborate with others in a research and development environment, participate in executive speaker series, and showcase effective problem-solving skills.
