An overview of this role
This role focuses on leading research and development at the intersection of fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC) and large-scale algorithms for AI and simulation. You will use Loom, Entropica's quantum error correction compiler, to analyse the resource requirements and performance of fault-tolerant quantum algorithms, particularly those relevant to foundational mathematical functions in large language models (LLMs) and neural networks.
As Quantum Algorithms Lead, you will work hands-on with algorithm implementation, resource estimation, and performance benchmarking, while also exploring collaborations with academic and industry partners to test novel quantum neural network designs and AI models. Success requires a strong background in quantum mechanics, algorithms, and computational physics, plus the creativity to bridge theoretical insight with practical, architecture-aware FTQC implementation.
What You will contribute:
  • Lead the design and benchmarking of FTQC algorithms, focusing on their feasibility.
  • Identify and model the mathematical primitives in LLMs and neural networks most likely to benefit from quantum acceleration.
  • Use Entropica's Loom compiler and software stack to perform rigorous QEC resource estimations and speedup analyses.
  • Compare QEC codes for different quantum algorithms to outline possible architectures for specialised QPUs based on the implementation requirements.
  • Explore and evaluate quantum-native AI model architectures with academic and industry partners.
  • Translate research findings into actionable recommendations for compiler optimisation and FTQC orchestration.
  • Publish and present research internally and externally to position Entropica as a leader in fault-tolerant quantum error correction.
  • Maintain close collaboration with the compiler and orchestration teams to ensure alignment between theory and system requirements.

Job Requirements:
  • Strong background in quantum mechanics, quantum algorithms and computational physics.
  • Experience with resource estimation for quantum algorithms and familiarity with QEC concepts.
  • Proficiency in Python and experience with scientific computing libraries.
  • Familiarity with quantum programming frameworks (Qiskit, Cirq, PennyLane, or similar).
  • Strong analytical skills and ability to translate theoretical models into implementable algorithms.
  • Excellent communication skills for technical and non-technical audiences.
  • PhD in Physics, Computer Science, or a related quantitative field.
