- Job description We are seeking a Senior Research Fellow at Amritapuri Campus who will contribute to advanced research and software development in Quantum Error Correction (QEC), Quantum Error Mitigation (QEM), and fault-tolerant quantum computing. Key Responsibilities
Develop and evaluate advanced quantum error correction and error mitigation techniques.
Implement stabilizer, surface, and other relevant quantum error-correcting codes.
Develop syndrome extraction, decoding, and logical error-rate evaluation pipelines.
Develop and analyse physical noise models relevant to quantum computing hardware.
Work with Stim, PyMatching, Qiskit-Aer, Qiskit, and related quantum computing toolchains.
Benchmark different decoding approaches based on accuracy, logical error rate, execution time, and computational overhead.
Investigate hardware-aware QEC approaches considering realistic noise characteristics and quantum circuit topologies.
Develop software modules for automated quantum circuit simulation, error injection, syndrome generation, decoding, and performance analysis.
Study and implement approaches for adaptive error mitigation and predictive noise modelling.
Support integration of QEC/QEM modules into a modular quantum software toolchain.
Conduct independent literature reviews and formulate research problems and experimental methodologies.
Lead the development of research prototypes and contribute to project milestones and technical deliverables.
Prepare research publications, technical reports, presentations, and project documentation.
Guide and support JRFs and other junior project members in QEC-related implementation and experimentation.
