QuEra Computing Inc.
Senior Quantum Scientist - Quantum + AI
QuEra Computing Inc., Boston, Massachusetts, us, 02298
Overview
QuEra is seeking a talented AI scientist to explore the intersection of quantum computing and AI. This includes topics in "quantum for AI", such as development of quantum machine learning algorithms for generative tasks, integration of quantum computers into AI workflows, and augmentation of classical training with quantum methods. This may also include topics in "AI for quantum", such as AI compilation techniques for hardware execution, machine characterization and inference, decoding, and related topics. A strong candidate is expected to have deep hands-on experience with contemporary classical AI workflows, such as large language models (LLMs), a strong understanding of the underlying theory of modern AI, and an understanding of quantum computing and quantum information theory.
As part of your role, you will spearhead efforts at QuEra to develop the next generation of quantum and AI algorithms guided by your experience with classical AI approaches. The role will include both cutting-edge research, as well as development and deployment of algorithms on the next generation of neutral-atom hardware. QuEra Computing is the leader in neutral-atom quantum computing, and is a front runner in the race towards utility-scale quantum computing. In this role, you will be at the forefront of integrating quantum algorithms with practical AI-driven toolchains, driving innovation across simulation, optimization, and quantum machine learning domains.
Responsibilities
Develop and advance quantum machine learning algorithms for generative tasks and AI workflows.
Integrate quantum computers into AI pipelines and augment classical training with quantum methods.
Explore AI-for-quantum topics such as AI compilation for hardware execution, machine characterization, inference, and decoding.
Leverage deep hands-on experience with modern AI/ML methods (e.g., deep learning, reinforcement learning) and practical use of AI models like LLMs in production or research settings.
Lead research and development efforts, including deployment of algorithms on neutral-atom hardware.
Qualifications
PhD in math, computer science, quantum physics, or equivalent professional experience.
Strong hands-on expertise with modern AI/ML methods (deep learning, reinforcement learning) and practical use of AI models such as LLMs.
Understanding of quantum information theory and quantum computing fundamentals.
Experience deploying AI training and inference on HPC environments.
Strong publication record in AI and/or quantum computing.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with state-of-the-art quantum machine learning methods (e.g., quantum generative models, quantum reinforcement learning).
Experience in scientific software development, including prior open-source contributions.
QuEra is committed to cultivating a diverse work environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We highly value diversity in our current and future employees and do not discriminate (including in our hiring and promotion practices) based on race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
