Sydney, New South Wales, Australia UNSW Australia Full time

Quantum Applications Scientist

This is an exciting opportunity to work with a world-class team at the cutting edge of technology, focussed on making quantum computers a reality.

As a Quantum Applications Scientist, you will support the identification of use cases and algorithm development for both analogue and digital quantum computers to solve difficult industry applications in the near-term.

You will consider analogue quantum systems comprised of large arrays of phosphorus-doped silicon quantum dots as a computational resource, and develop algorithms for digital quantum computers focusing on solving industry problems with a 100-qubit silicon-based quantum processor.

This role will examine optimisation and machine learning use cases for both quantum computing paradigms from the transportation, finance, and communications industries.

You will work closely with hardware, software and processing engineers to realise quantum processors in silicon ensuring high-fidelity control and measurement of multi-qubit devices at cryogenic temperatures.

This is a highly sought after position within a dynamic and highly collaborative research and development environment.

About the role

  • Fixed Term – 3 years
  • Full-time (35 hours per week)

Background

  • SQC is a well-funded Australian company formed by the Commonwealth Government, the New South Wales State Government, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Telstra, and UNSW Sydney.
  • SQC is seeking to commercialise silicon quantum computing technology developed in Australia – technology that has the potential to have a global impact.
  • SQC's work is building on more than 20 years of world-leading research by the Centre of Excellence which includes the development of dedicated manufacturing and measurement techniques for an atom-based quantum computer in silicon.
  • This role and SQC are located at the headquarters of the Centre at UNSW Sydney.

Specific responsibilities for this role include:

LEVEL A:

  • Investigate quantum advantage with near-term quantum systems.
  • Explore the implementation of analogue quantum systems on near-term arrays of phosphorus-doped silicon quantum dots.
  • Explore the implementation of digital quantum algorithms on near-term, atom-based silicon hardware.
  • Adapt, tailor, and develop analogue quantum systems and quantum algorithms for industry focussed applications.
  • Work on the theory of analogue quantum systems to better understand the near- and medium-term direction of analogue quantum computing to determine when/how a quantum advantage can be achieved.
  • Work on the theory of quantum algorithms to better understand the medium- to long-term direction of quantum computing to determine when/how a quantum advantage can be achieved.
  • Work with a multidisciplinary team of quantum physicists, engineers, technicians, postdoctoral researchers, and PhD students for early-stage quantum system implementations on silicon-based quantum computer devices.
  • Generate high quality research publication output.
  • Provide technical assistance and training to the research staff and students working within SQC.
  • Align with and actively demonstrate the UNSW Values in Action: Our Behaviours and the UNSW Code of Conduct.
  • Cooperate with all health and safety policies and procedures of the university and take all reasonable care to ensure that your actions or omissions do not impact on the health and safety of yourself or others.

LEVEL B:

In addition to the above:

  • Make significant contribution to the field of quantum computing.
  • Where appropriate, develop and take leadership of research projects.
  • Supervise honours or other higher degree research students.

About the successful applicant

LEVEL A:

  • To be successful in this role you will have:
  • A PhD Physics, Computer Science, Mathematics, or relevant field, with work experience in a research or commercial environment.
  • Demonstrated research capabilities in classical machine learning, quantum machine learning, condensed matter physics, computational physics or related field.
  • Experience writing high-performance quantum algorithm implementation, preferably in Python, MATLAB, C/C++, or equivalent. GPU programming experience.
  • Experience with Python quantum computing packages such as OpenQASM (Qiskit), Cirq, Project Q, or equivalent.
  • Experience in troubleshooting and solving complex unplanned issues.
  • Well-organised, attention to detail and ability to meet deadlines.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Demonstrated ability to work in a team, collaborate across disciplines and build effective relationships.
  • An understanding of and commitment to UNSW's aims, objectives and values in action, together with relevant policies and guidelines.
  • Knowledge of health and safety responsibilities and commitment to attending relevant health and safety training.

LEVEL B:

In addition to the above

  • Demonstrated ability to conduct independent research.
  • Demonstrated outstanding research capabilities in quantum chemistry, condensed matter physics, computational physics, spin physics, quantum algorithms or related field.
  • Experience devising solutions to industry use-cases with quantum systems.
  • Experience solving chemistry/materials problems on quantum systems.
  • Experience modelling qubit systems.
  • Significant experience with Python quantum computing packages, such as OpenQASM (Qiskit), Cirq, ProjectQ, or equivalent.
  • Experience with co-supervision of higher degree research students in quantum computing.
