Higher/Senior Scientist in Quantum Computing and Machine Learning

We are hiring Higher/Senior Scientists to join NPL’s Quantum Software & Modelling team in the Quantum Technologies Department. As we are recruiting across different levels, we will consider applications from candidates with varied experience. Offer and salary will depend on experience.

You will be a vital part of NPL’s team contributing to achieve the UK's mission to deliver an accessible UK-based quantum computer capable of running 1 trillion operations. The exciting and innovative research will be done in collaboration with experimental teams at NPL, as well as leading national and international quantum computing companies and Universities.  

The research will be within the following areas:

• 
  
• Development of quantum computing and classical computing algorithms and software for applications in materials science, chemistry, machine learning and AI
  
•  Development of machine learning and other AI approaches for large scale automation and modelling of quantum technologies
  
•  Theory and algorithms for open quantum systems to determine the physical decoherence mechanisms in qubits
  
•  Development of methods to determine the effects of noise on quantum algorithms and quantum error correction
