Job title:

Machine Learning Scientist: Quantum for AI

Company

Quantinuum

Job description

Quantum computers provide access to data that is hard to obtain using classical means. AI methods, such as large language models or reinforcement learning, are powerful tools that have the potential to largely impact the way in which we solve scientific problems. AI models are trained on data, and so providing them access to quantum computers opens up opportunities for new scientific discoveries. Quantum computers also offer the potential for advantage in new machine learning architectures, such as quantum transformers. At Quantinuum we are currently forming a new team to implement our AI strategy, successful applicants will have the opportunity to help us build this.As a ML Scientist in the Quantum for AI team, you will be in the unique position to use the world’s highest-fidelity quantum computers to explore the advantage of using AI trained on data obtained from our quantum computers. You will also define novel problems and research methods. For example, recent advances in shadow tomography and quantum learning theory provide a new playground for designing novel experiments for identifying quantum advantage at the intersection of AI and quantum computing.Responsibilities:

• Work with quantum computing scientists and machine learning engineers to explore the advantage of using AI trained on data obtained from our quantum computers.
• Research new architectures for quantum AI and machine learning.
• Conduct experiments in areas such as NLP to see if quantum computing can offer any advantages over their classical counterparts.

Key Requirements:

• Master’s Degree or Ph.D in Physics, Computer Science, Computational Chemistry, Applied Mathematics, or related engineering field or equivalent experience.
• Experience in applied AI for scientific problems.
• Familiarity with quantum computing.
• Familiarity with the quantum machine learning literature and related quantum advantage results

Desirable Skills

• Familiarity with quantum computing concepts, or a related field such as quantum many-body physics.
• Experience in large-scale machine learning (large language models, reinforcement learning)
• Experience leveraging high-performance computing (e.g. distributed multi-node, multi-GPU platforms).
