Quantum Applications Researcher

Quantum-Art, a full stack quantum computing company, develops state of the art quantum computing systems based on trapped ions technology (both hardware and software).We are looking for a Quantum Applications Researcher to help identify, design, and develop quantum solutions for practically relevant problems. This role is intended for researchers and algorithm developers with a strong background in quantum information, and preferably quantum algorithms, who can connect advanced theory with real-world use cases and hardware-aware implementation. The role spans application-driven algorithm research, solution design, benchmarking, simulation, and optimization for our specific quantum backend. This position requires strong independent research ability, as the position requires leading new knowledge domains within the company. Key responsibilities Research and develop quantum algorithms for real-world problems in domains where quantum computing may offer an advantage.  Design end-to-end algorithmic solutions, including mathematical formulation, quantum subroutines, circuit construction, and resource estimation.  Benchmark algorithmic cost and feasibility using relevant metrics such as qubit count, circuit depth, gate complexity, runtime, sampling requirements, and error sensitivity.  Simulate and evaluate candidate solutions and optimize them for the company’s specific hardware backend and compiler stack.  Identify quantum algorithms and application areas that best match the strengths and roadmap of the company’s hardware, including capability-driven demonstrations in addition to client-driven use cases.  Contribute reusable building blocks to an internal synthesis and algorithm library.  Work closely with compiler, control, and hardware teams to ensure that algorithmic designs are practical and well aligned with execution constraints.
