Senior AMO Physicist - Neutral Atom Quantum Computing

Are you someone who enjoys using your research mindset to explore and innovate? Do you want to collaborate with committed people and achieve results together to develop truly human centric innovation?


Well, here at Fujitsu Research of Europe (FRE), we are combining research and industrial innovation to transform businesses and society. FRE is a multidisciplinary center which, as part of Fujitsu’s global R&D activity, conducts research and innovation – achieving together whilst supporting our employees. We are looking for a Quantum Computing (QC) Researcher who will research applications and algorithms that will be used to strengthen Fujitsu’s quantum computing offerings in various fields such finance, healthcare, social infrastructure and beyond.


Your role will involve:


  • Conducting research on quantum algorithms and applications of quantum computing
  • Collaborating with researchers from FRE and from our overseas laboratories (in Japan, India or USA) and external academic partners
  • Generating IP and publishing work in top academic conferences and journals


Your role will be based in the UK but will require international travel on an ad-hoc basis. You will report into both the local Group Manager in FRE and the Project Director in our Laboratories in Japan.


Your experience


To be suitable for this opportunity, you will be pro-active in your approach, adaptable and able to demonstrate that you have:


  • PhD (or MSc and equivalent experience) in a relevant field: physics, mathematics, computer science or related
  • Academic background in Quantum Information Theory would be a plus
  • A track record of substantial contributions to research projects in Quantum Computing or a related field
  • Strong programing skills, familiarity with quantum SDKs such as Qiskit, Pennylane or pytket
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills


Achieve together


We want the best people on our team, so we welcome and encourage applications from people with a diverse variety of experiences, backgrounds and identities. The role may demand some flexibility to meet business needs, within a culture of respect for professional and private commitments. We are committed to equality of opportunity for all.

How to Find Hidden Quantum Computing Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, IOP & More

Quantum computing is one of the most exciting and disruptive fields in science and technology. As the UK invests in a national quantum strategy—with funding for hardware, software, cryptography, and applications—demand for quantum talent is growing rapidly. But here’s what most job seekers miss: many quantum computing roles are never posted on public job boards. Instead, opportunities are shared quietly through research partnerships, industry working groups, spinout collaborations, and professional bodies. In this guide, we’ll show you how to access hidden quantum computing jobs in the UK by leveraging organisations like the Institute of Physics (IOP), BCS, Quantum Technology Hubs, UKRI, and other key communities. We’ll explore how to use membership directories, SIGs (Special Interest Groups), CPD events, and project funding announcements to gain visibility, build relationships, and find roles long before they’re advertised.

How to Get a Better Quantum Computing Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy in the emerging field of quantum computing can feel particularly discouraging, especially after years of specialised training and research. But as the UK continues to invest in quantum technologies across academia, defence, computing and cryptography, new roles are opening in both startups and national programmes. Whether you're a physicist, quantum software engineer, hardware specialist, or quantum algorithm researcher, this guide will help you turn redundancy into an opportunity for career growth.

Quantum Computing Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Work Out Your True Worth in Seconds

Why yesterday’s pay survey is meaningless in today’s quantum landscape Ask a Quantum Software Engineer debugging Qiskit kernels at midnight, a Cryogenic Hardware Engineer coaxing qubits below 10 mK, or a Quantum Algorithm Researcher squeezing decoherence budgets: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The honest answer shifts faster than a Rabi oscillation. Since early 2024, the UK Government funded £2.5 billion across its National Quantum Strategy, Amazon Braket and Azure Quantum slashed circuit prices, & post‑quantum cryptography mandates yanked quantum literacy into cyber road‑maps. Each shock nudges salary bands. Any PDF salary guide printed last year looks like an outdated calibration curve—blind to the silicon spin‑qubit breakthroughs in Cambridge, the Oxford ion‑trap scale‑ups, or the London quantum‑software unicorn that closed a £200 million Series C. To swap guesswork for evidence, QuantumComputingJobs.co.uk has distilled a transparent, three‑factor formula. Feed in your discipline, region, & seniority & you’ll instantly see a realistic 2025 salary benchmark—no stale averages, no vague “competitive” claims. This article unpacks that formula, highlights the forces pushing quantum‑computing pay skywards, & gives five practical moves to lift your market value inside ninety days.
