About Xanadu:Xanadu’s mission is to build quantum computers that are useful and available to people everywhere. At Xanadu, we are learners, innovators, researchers, collaborators, and problem solvers. We are creating something that has never been built before. What we are doing is extremely hard, the classic moon shot. Few people in their life will be able to be a part of something like this, where if we are successful, the technologies we develop will solve some of the world’s most challenging problems, and literally change the world. That is something to be excited about! Your role and responsibilities:As a quantum scientist, you will join a technical team of scientists dedicated to unlocking the real-world impact of fault-tolerant quantum computers. You will contribute to discovering cutting-edge quantum algorithms, rigorously optimizing their performance, and identifying valuable applications across a variety of industries. Whether your primary strength is pioneering algorithms or uncovering novel applications, this role thrives at the intersection of both. At Xanadu, this research is conducted alongside industry, government, and academic partners, requiring close collaboration with software, hardware, and business development teams across the company. In more detail, you will focus deeply on: Designing and pioneering innovative quantum algorithms tailored for fault-tolerant quantum computers for applications related to computational chemistry. Radically improving algorithm efficiency by reducing qubit counts, gate complexity, and overall resource requirements Identifying high-value applications targeted at our chemistry-related focus industries. Demonstrating the feasibility and scalability of new algorithms and applications through rigorous resource estimation and comparison to state-of-the-art classical methods. Collaborating with PennyLane software developers to create state-of-the-art tools for quantum algorithms research. Regardless of your specific focus areas, you will consistently: Author high-quality scientific papers, technical reports, and comprehensive documentation. Generate valuable intellectual property and actively support the filing of related patents. Present your research findings to strategic partners and at premier conferences and events. Basic qualifications and experience: PhD in Chemistry, Physics, or a related quantitative discipline — or equivalent practical experience. Strong track record of research accomplishments in computational chemistry and quantum computing, evidenced by publications, patents, or technical work. Deep knowledge of quantum chemistry methods for ground and excited states, such as DFT, CASSCF/CASCI, MRCI, DMRG, Coupled Cluster, QMC, etc. Knowledge of fundamental concepts in quantum algorithms, such as Hamiltonian simulation, Trotter product formulas, quantum signal processing, linear combination of unitaries, amplitude amplification, quantum phase estimation, and quantum read-only memories. Expertise in application areas related to quantum chemistry, materials science, pharmaceuticals, etc. Capacity to thrive in an interdisciplinary team environment and drive independent research when required. Excellent communication skills, with a proven ability to convey complex technical ideas to specialist and non-specialist audiences. Strong self-management skills to balance individual project priorities, deadlines, and deliverables in a fast-paced environment. Preferred qualifications and experience: Experience performing constant-factor resource estimation for fault-tolerant quantum algorithms. Experience in using and/or developing quantum chemistry software including but not limited to PySCF, Gaussian, Q-Chem, ORCA, Psi4, NWChem, MOLCAS, GAMESS, etc. Experience collaborating with industry or government partners. Strong software development and scientific programming skills in Python and HPC expertise. Our values are important. They are fundamental and lay the foundation for culture at Xanadu.
