Description

Quantinuum is looking for a research scientist to work on the applications of quantum computing on the simulations of molecules and materials at an ab initio level, with a focus on problems of industrial interest.

You will mainly develop your activities on the execution of applied research projects, where you'll deploy quantum algorithms towards the simulation of molecular and solid state systems for industrial applications in a wide variety of areas such as drug research, catalyst design or advanced materials, among others.

You will construct the atomistic models, test the quantum algorithms on them, provide critical analysis and work on possible improvements to them.

As many of these projects are developed in collaboration with industrial partners, you will also assist in communications with them.

In addition to this main task, you will contribute to other activities in the team, like the implementation and testing of new algorithms for InQuanto, our quantum chemistry on quantum computers platform, or research and development of new methods for quantum chemistry simulation on quantum computers.

You'll be supported by our team of quantum algorithms researchers and our software engineers and will also benefit from collaborations with teams dedicated to other aspects of quantum computing like quantum compilation, error correction and mitigation.

Developing and delivering projects related to the modelling of molecules and materials of industrial interest by applying quantum algorithms developed at Quantinuum, assessing their performance and investigating improvements
