Machine Learning Scientists and Engineers: AI for Quantum

Join to apply for theMachine Learning Scientists and Engineers: AI for Quantumrole atQuantinuum

Quantinuum is building a new AI team, currently comprising 14 employees, and is talent pooling for future roles. Please register your interest to be considered for upcoming opportunities. Note that responses may be delayed as current positions are filled.

Designing, building, programming, and using quantum computers pose numerous challenges. Modern AI methods show promise in addressing these challenges, requiring quantum computing scientists to identify use cases and design experiments.

As a Machine Learning Scientist in the AI for Quantum team, your role involves designing ML experiments in collaboration with ML engineers and quantum scientists, developing tools and frameworks to apply AI techniques to quantum computing, and solving complex problems in the quantum stack. You will have access to Quantinuum’s top-tier quantum computers, with applications including circuit optimization, quantum algorithm design, and error mitigation or correction strategies.

As a Machine Learning Engineer, you will utilize state-of-the-art methods alongside quantum scientists to solve problems such as circuit compilation, error-correcting code discovery, and demonstrating quantum advantage by integrating quantum computers with AI systems.

Responsibilities:

  • Research novel use cases of machine learning and AI for quantum program synthesis.
  • Identify high-impact problems that Quantinuum can solve.
  • Collaborate with engineering, product management, and architecture teams.
  • Present at scientific, technical, and industry conferences as needed.

Key Requirements:

  • Master’s Degree or Ph.D. in Physics, Computer Science, Chemistry, Applied Mathematics, or related fields, or equivalent experience.
  • Experience applying AI to scientific problems.
  • Previous quantum computing experience.
  • Knowledge of literature on quantum advantage.

Desirable Skills:

  • Knowledge of quantum computing concepts or related fields like quantum many-body physics.
  • Experience with large-scale machine learning, including language models and reinforcement learning.
  • Experience with high-performance computing platforms.

What’s in it for you?

Work with a talented team in the quantum computing industry. We offer a competitive package, equity, 28 days of paid holiday, pension, flexible working, and parental benefits.

About Us:

Quantinuum is the world’s largest integrated quantum company, pioneering quantum hardware and software solutions. With around 500 employees, including 370+ scientists and engineers, we drive breakthroughs across multiple sectors. We recently secured $300M in funding. Learn more atour news page.

We are an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion. Employment is contingent on passing pre-employment screening.

Where to Advertise Quantum Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising quantum computing jobs in the UK requires a fundamentally different approach to most technical hiring. The global talent pool is tiny — measured in thousands, not tens of thousands — and concentrated around a small number of university physics departments, national laboratories and well-funded hardware startups. Many of the strongest candidates hold PhDs in quantum physics, quantum information or adjacent disciplines and are embedded in academic or research communities that rarely intersect with mainstream job boards. General platforms are largely ineffective for quantum hiring. Specialist boards, academic channels and direct community outreach are not optional extras — they are the primary sourcing strategy. This guide, published by QuantumComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise quantum computing roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

New Quantum Computing Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and International Companies Advancing Quantum Careers

Quantum computing is no longer confined to research labs. As companies convert quantum theory into testable products, algorithms, and computing platforms, demand for professionals with quantum knowledge — whether physics, algorithms, software development, or hardware engineering — is rising. In 2026, quantum computing organisations are securing significant funding, industry partnerships, and contracts across sectors such as energy, finance, telecommunications, defence, and healthcare. For candidates exploring opportunities on www.QuantumComputingJobs.co.uk , understanding which employers are hiring now and scaling quantum teams is crucial. This article profiles the new and high‑growth quantum computing employers to watch in 2026, with a specific focus on UK‑based innovators, international firms with UK operations, and leading global quantum organisations.

How Many Quantum Computing Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Quantum Computing Job?

Quantum computing is one of the most exciting frontiers in science and technology — and the job market reflects that excitement. But for aspiring practitioners, the sheer number of tools, frameworks, programming languages and hardware platforms can feel overwhelming. One job advert mentions Qiskit, another talks about Cirq or Pennylane. You see references to quantum annealers and superconducting qubits, to measurement hardware and simulators, to noise mitigation libraries and cloud platforms. It’s easy to conclude that unless you master every quantum tool, you’ll never get a job. Here’s the honest truth most quantum computing hiring managers won’t explicitly tell you: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can apply the right tools to solve real problems and explain why your solutions work. Tools matter, but context, understanding, judgement and results matter more. So how many quantum computing tools do you actually need to know to succeed in a job search? The real answer is significantly fewer than most people assume — and far more focused by role. This article breaks down what tools really matter in quantum jobs, which ones are core, which are role-specific, and how you can build a coherent toolkit that employers actually value.
