As an organization, Google maintains a portfolio of research projects driven by fundamental research, new product innovation, product contribution and infrastructure goals, while providing individuals and teams the freedom to emphasize specific types of work. As a Research Scientist, you'll setup large-scale tests and deploy promising ideas quickly and broadly, managing deadlines and deliverables while applying the latest theories to develop new and improved products, processes, or technologies.

Our team focuses on discovery and development of relevant applications of current and future generations of quantum processors, in the domains of physics, chemistry, and material science. In this role, you will work to identify promising quantum simulations, develop optimized algorithms for their implementations on quantum processors, and evaluate their classical simulation cost. You will perform theoretical and computational analysis of physical observables in quantum simulations and computations, taking into account the effects of noise. You may also expect to contribute to theory-experiment collaborations within the team.

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 roadmap is focused on advancing the capabilities of quantum computing and enabling meaningful applications.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is $166,000-$244,000 + bonus + equity + benefits.

Responsibilities:

• Identify applications of near-term quantum processors.
• Develop problem-solving and computational approaches for quantum dynamics.
• Develop optimized experimental implementations and protocols for relevant applications.
• Contribute to theoretical analysis of experimental data and develop error-mitigation strategies.

Google is proud to be an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer. We are committed to building a workforce that is representative of the users we serve, creating a culture of belonging, and providing an equal employment opportunity regardless of race, creed, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, national origin, disability, age, genetic information, veteran status, marital status, pregnancy or related condition (including breastfeeding), expecting or parents-to-be, criminal histories consistent with legal requirements, or any other basis protected by law.
