Job overview
PsiQuantum seeks a researcher to develop methods for quantum characterization, verification, and validation of large-scale quantum systems. The role focuses on scalable approaches to characterizing quantum channels and system-level behavior when direct reconstruction is impossible, connecting experimental data to conclusions about quantum performance. Relevant experience may include several simulation and modeling approaches. Photonic quantum computing experience is valuable but not required; candidates should be eager to learn photonic concepts.

Full job description
Job posting details:
Job title: Quantum Systems Validation Engineer
Description: PsiQuantum is seeking a researcher to develop methods for quantum characterization, verification, and validation (QCVV) of large-scale quantum systems. The successful candidate will work on methods for reliably characterizing quantum channels and system-level behavior in regimes where direct reconstruction is impossible. This includes developing scalable protocols, statistical analysis techniques, and simulation methods that connect experimental data to actionable conclusions about quantum performance. Relevant experience may include tensor network methods, GPU-accelerated simulation, Monte Carlo methods, stabilizer simulation, and other approaches for modeling large quantum circuits and noisy quantum processes. Prior experience with photonic quantum computing is valuable but not required. Candidates should be eager to learn the relevant photonic concepts and apply their QCVV, modeling, and simulation expertise to a photonic fault-tolerant quantum computing platform.
