Questions

Can a foreigner apply for these roles?

62 of the 90 roles here state no citizenship or security-check demand. A role that does - export-controlled quantum hardware and cryptography work often does - says so in its advert, and the card marks it.

Which quantum companies hire most?

IonQ (15), QuEra Computing (14), Infleqtion (10), Atom Computing (7), D-Wave (7).

Which employers count as quantum companies?

Companies whose main business is quantum technology - quantum computer makers (superconducting, trapped-ion, neutral-atom, photonic, spin qubits), quantum software and algorithm companies, quantum sensing and communication, and the makers of their control electronics, lasers and cryogenics - and every role whose title names quantum work at any employer.

How fresh is this?

Every role is re-checked on the employer's own careers board at least every 48 hours, and the page is rebuilt every night.
