About this role

Quantum Applied Scientist, Simulation Methods and Tools, AWS Center for Quantum Computing Toronto, Ontario, CAN The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Center for Quantum Computing (CQC) in Pasadena, CA, is looking to hire an Applied Scientist focused on development of methods and tools for simulating quantum processor devices. In this role, you will develop and apply numerical methods and software tools that address simulation problems in quantum processor design and characterization. You will be joining a multi-disciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and technicians, all working at the forefront of quantum computing and will have an opportunity to make an enduring impact on the development of fault-tolerant quantum computers. The ideal candidate should have a track record of significant technical contributions to scientific software packages and have deep expertise in developing and applying numerical methods to simulate quantum many-body systems in the context of quantum processor development. Key job responsibilities Simulations are a critical tool at the CQC. As an applied scientist in this role, you will help develop high quality software tools and numerical methods for simulating our devices at the circuit-QED level, allowing us to accurately and efficiently compute static and dynamical properties of our devices, such as frequencies, coupling strengths, and gate error budgets. The tools you build will directly support device development work done by CQC scientists, such as device theorists, designers, and experimentalists, on adjacent teams. You will also collaborate with these scientists to research and investigate simulation-based solutions to problems in quantum processor design and characterization,
