Google Applicants in the County of Los Angeles: Qualified applications with arrest or conviction records will be considered for employment in accordance with the Los Angeles County Fair Chance Ordinance for Employers and the California Fair Chance Act.
Note: By applying to this position you will have an opportunity to share your preferred working location from the following:
Goleta, CA, USA; Los Angeles, CA, USA; Mountain View, CA, USA; San Francisco, CA, USA . Minimum qualifications:
PhD degree in Physics, Computer Science, Engineering, Quantum Information Science, or a related technical field or equivalent experience. 2 years of experience in Quantum Computing, Chemistry, Computational Physics, Mathematical Modeling, or Applied Mathematics. Experience in noisy quantum systems, quantum noise modeling, and error mitigation/suppression techniques. Experience with experimental operation of quantum systems.
Preferred qualifications:
Experience contributing to or leading projects within large-scale industry or scientific collaborations. Experience in quantum protocols, characterization methods, and advanced error mitigation/suppression techniques. Track record of impactful research publications in the field of Quantum Computing.
About the job The Senior Research Scientist role focuses on pathfinding of practical leading techniques for quantum computations on Google’s processors.
In this role, you will bridge the gap between theoretical quantum protocols and real-world quantum computing by creating methods that accelerate and enhance performance on noisy quantum processors, and on early Quantum Error Correction (QEC) systems in the future. This includes theory, numerical modeling, and optimization of existing approaches and pioneering new ones for multi-stage quantum experiments to evolve.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
Research and develop methods for high-accuracy quantum computation on noisy practical systems, encompassing error mitigation, suppression, and robust quantum protocols. This involves developing theory, performing numerical modeling and simulations, and collaborating closely with experiments. Validate and stress-test work in practical scenarios used by users and practitioners. Collaborate effectively across theoretical and experimental teams to disseminate knowledge and facilitate technology transfer and development. Innovate, patent, and publish research findings in peer-reviewed publications and present at conferences.
Google is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and is an affirmative action employer. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity or Veteran status.
