Job Description Phasecraft is the quantum algorithms company. We are building the mathematical foundations for quantum computing applications that solve real-world problems. Founded in 2019 by Toby Cubitt, Ashley Montanaro, and John Morton, we are based in London and Bristol, UK. In 2023, we completed a £13m Series A funding round led by Silicon Valley deep tech VC, Playground Global.
Phasecraft's access to top quantum computers through partnerships with Google, IBM, and Rigetti provides unique opportunities to develop foundational IP, inform next-generation hardware development, and accelerate commercialization of breakthroughs.
We are hiring a Quantum Algorithms Scientist to join our team. The ideal candidate will have experience in algorithms for gate-model quantum computers, quantum information theory, or related fields. Their work will contribute to developing quantum algorithms for near-term quantum computers, including topics like algorithm optimization, quantum codes, resource analysis, error mitigation, and hardware benchmarking. They will have opportunities to develop a broad research portfolio aligned with Phasecraft's interests.
Responsibilities Undertake theoretical and/or applied research on near-term quantum computing algorithms and technologies
Contribute to publications, presentations, patent applications, and similar outputs
Collaborate with a small team of staff and PhD students
Support the growth and success of Phasecraft through various activities
Minimum Requirements Essential criteria:
Expertise in quantum information and/or computation theory
PhD (or soon to receive one) in quantum information, quantum computation theory, theoretical computer science, physics, or related fields
Ability to work independently and collaboratively on research projects
Strong publication record in relevant disciplines
Flexibility to work across different aspects of quantum software and theory
Willingness to undertake tasks supporting company growth
Desirable criteria:
Interest in near-term quantum computing
Experience implementing algorithms on quantum hardware or in classical emulation, or strong theoretical/mathematical research with application interest, or software development skills
Enthusiasm for learning and research
Excellent communication skills

Part-Time Study Routes That Lead to Quantum Computing Jobs: Evening Courses, Bootcamps & Online Masters

Quantum computing promises to revolutionise fields from cryptography and optimisation to materials modelling and drug discovery. By harnessing quantum phenomena—superposition, entanglement and tunnelling—quantum algorithms can tackle problems that classical computers find intractable. As quantum hardware matures and software stacks evolve, UK organisations in finance, defence, pharmaceuticals and national research centres are seeking quantum computing experts—research scientists, quantum software engineers and quantum algorithm developers. However, many ambitious professionals cannot take sabbaticals for full-time study. Thankfully, part-time learning pathways—Evening Courses, Intensive Bootcamps and Flexible Online Master’s Programmes—enable you to learn quantum computing while working. This extensive guide outlines every route: foundational modules, immersive bootcamps, accredited online MScs, plus funding options, planning strategies and a practical case study. Whether you’re a physicist, software developer or data scientist, you can build quantum expertise alongside your current career.
