We are now looking for Master's Thesis Worker to join our ProperTune AI team. Join us - and let's make an impact together!
As a thesis worker, you will investigate how the first generations of logical qubits can be utilised in quantum-computing applications relevant to materials science. You will implement and benchmark materials-science quantum algorithms on logical-qubit architectures, emphasising the transition from noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) to logical intermediate-scale quantum (LISQ) computing, and compare the performance and accuracy of algorithms executed with physical and logical qubits. The project aims to develop quantum algorithms that can be validated on VTT's current and future generations of quantum computing platforms.
