# Research Scientist, Quantum Error Correction, Quantum AI

About the job As a Quantum Research Scientist, you will develop quantum error correction (QEC) schemes for fault-tolerant quantum computing, specifically focusing on superconducting qubits and high-connectivity platforms. You will develop and analyze QEC for modular architectures, addressing challenges such as entangling links between chips that are slower or more faulty than on-chip gates. Your role involves developing fault-tolerant circuits for logical gates while navigating hardware tradeoffs on connectivity and engineering higher accuracy decoding algorithms for high-connectivity codes, such as Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes. Beyond the technical design, you will contribute to the wider research community by sharing and publishing your findings. These contributions will be inspired by internal projects as well as through active collaborations with research programs at partner universities and technical institutes globally. The full potential of quantum computing will be unlocked with a large-scale computer capable of complex, error-corrected computations. Google Quantum AI's mission is to build this computer and unlock solutions to classically intractable problems. Our
