Job Description: Science Led, Enterprise Driven – Accelerating Quantum Computing
Quantinuum is the world’s largest integrated quantum company, pioneering powerful quantum computers and advanced software solutions. Quantinuum’s technology drives breakthroughs in materials discovery, cybersecurity, and next-gen quantum AI. With approximately 500 employees, including 370+ scientists and engineers, Quantinuum leads the quantum computing revolution across continents.
We unite best-in-class software with high-fidelity hardware to accelerate quantum computing. With integrated full-stack technology, our world-class team is rapidly scaling quantum computing.
Quantinuum recently secured $300M in funding, visit our news pages to learn more about this and other Quantinuum scientific breakthroughs and achievements:https://www.quantinuum.com/news
Quantinuum is looking for a highly qualified Quantum Computing Scientist in our Broomfield, CO location to apply their knowledge base to the development of both near-term and long-term algorithm development. The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of quantum error correction and the limitations and opportunities imposed by real-world hardware constraints. Quantinuum believes that employees work better, more efficiently and more collaboratively in close proximity to other employees, where ideas can be exchanged readily, and decisions can be made more quickly for the benefit of the Company and our customers. All employees should work at their assigned location; however, this role may offer the opportunity to work remotely 2 days per week, with approvals.
In this role, you will apply previous experience in theoretical quantum error correction to provide technical leadership in both technology demonstrations and the development of an architecture roadmap toward industrial-scale fault-tolerant quantum computation. You will also drive development of new concepts, help mature software tools to program quantum computers, and write journal publications and conference presentations. You will work with fellow theorists and system-level architects to ensure rapid and significant advancement of the state-of-the-art.
Key Responsibilities: Work directly with other theorists and experimentalists to understand the trapped-ion QCCD quantum computer architecture
Develop quantum error correction codes optimized for our hardware and inform hardware designs to work well with quantum error correction codes
Help inform system level requirements (error rates, classical computing requirements, etc.) to enable efficient error correction
Work with algorithm developers to find early uses for error correction concepts
Communicate ground-breaking results both internally and externally through publications and presentations
You Must Have: CompletedPhD prior to starting
Due to national security requirements imposed by the U.S. Government, candidates for this position must not be a People's Republic of China national or Russian national unless the candidate is also a U.S. citizen.
Due to Contractual requirements, must be a U.S. person (defined as, U.S. citizen permanent resident or green card holder, workers granted asylum or refugee status)
We Value: CompletedPhD in Physics or Computer Science with background in quantum error correction
Experience in working with experimentalists
Experience in working with quantum computing hardware
Experience in other relevant area of theoretical quantum computing (diagnostics, algorithm development, etc.)
Some knowledge of trapped-ion quantum computers
Estimated total wage: $115,000 - $140,000 What’s in it for you?
· A competitive salary and innovative, game-changing work
· Flexible work schedule
· 401(k) match for student loan repayment benefit
· Employer subsidized health, dental, and vision insurance
· Equity, 401k retirement savings plan + 12 Paid holidays and generous vacation + sick time
· Paid parental leave
· Employee discounts

How to Present Quantum Computing Solutions to Non-Technical Audiences: A Public Speaking Guide for Job Seekers

Quantum computing is one of the most advanced, promising—and misunderstood—fields in technology. While the science behind quantum algorithms, qubits, and entanglement is complex, your ability to explain it clearly is becoming a core skill for anyone pursuing a job in the sector. Whether you're applying for a quantum software developer role, a research position, or a client-facing solution engineer post, many UK employers now assess your ability to present technical concepts to non-technical audiences—especially funders, executives, policy-makers, and clients. This guide will help you structure your presentations, simplify quantum concepts, use effective visuals, and deliver with confidence. Because in quantum computing, how you communicate is just as important as what you compute.
