Quantum Error Correction Engineer (f/m/d)

eleQtron develops and operates full-stack quantum computers based on trapped-ion technology. Quantum computing is a new computing paradigm rapidly approaching commercial viability. Our unique approach combines laser-cooled trapped ions with microwave control and tailored magnetic fields. Our next-generation computing machines under development will be able to find solutions to problems that are out of reach today, thus enabling new innovative products and services for a brighter future.  

Responsibilities: 

As a Quantum Error Correction Engineer (f/m/d) at eleQtron, you will be part of a team with a mission to develop, set up and operate our trapped-ion quantum computers and relevant test devices. You will collaborate closely with our international team of physicists and engineers from different disciplines. Depending on your level of experience, you will work on one or more of the following tasks:  

• Develop and implement quantum error correction codes and error mitigation techniques for trapped-ion quantum computers

• Optimize gate sequences and decoding strategies, leveraging stabilizer formalism and fault-tolerant approaches

• Perform noise characterization and benchmarking to guide hardware and software improvements

• Implement QEC protocols, producing clear technical documentation, reports, or publications

• Stay updated on research in QEC and NISQ-era error mitigation, and translate insights into actionable improvements
