We are seeking Research Scientists for our quantum research team in Singapore


The Quantinuum office in Singapore is a hub for scientific discovery and cutting‑edge research that will inspire quantum solutions to the world’s most complex problems in fields including for example computational biology, finance, chemistry, and optimization. Working in close partnership with Singapore’s National Quantum Office (NQO), Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), National University of Singapore (NUS), Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT), and National Supercomputing Centre (NSCC), the centre will foster Singapore’s growing quantum computing ecosystem, offering a platform to co‑develop use cases and quantum algorithms for implementation on local quantum computing hardware.


Our team members regularly publish scientific papers and present their results at leading conferences. In this role, you will work in a collaborative environment and contribute to advancing our state‑of‑the‑art quantum computing stack. You will also engage with our academic and industry partners.


Key responsibilities:
  • Conduct research on new quantum algorithms for areas including biology, finance, chemistry, and optimization models
  • Develop and implement novel quantum algorithms integrated with early fault‑tolerant protocols and error‑correction or detection primitives
  • Contribute to end‑to‑end resource estimation of quantum algorithms under realistic hardware constraints
  • Communicate scientific results internally across teams and externally through publications and conference presentations
  • Engage with clients on projects in the above‑mentioned areas

Must Have
  • PhD in a relevant field (physics, mathematics, computer science, etc.)
  • Research experience in quantum algorithms, along with demonstrated expertise in at least one of the following areas: quantum algorithm design and optimisation, realistic noise models of quantum hardware, quantum error correction, and (partially) fault‑tolerant protocols

We value
  • Demonstrated research track record via publications in a relevant field
  • Deep knowledge of quantum computing and quantum algorithm design
  • Hands‑on experience with implementing quantum algorithms on simulators or hardware
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills
  • Programming skills in a high‑level language such as Python and relevant tools such as pytket, Qiskit, etc.

What is in it for you?

Working alongside a highly talented team, with leading names in the quantum computing industry. We offer a highly competitive package, equity, a positive approach to flexible working and benefits.

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.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Quantum Computing Job Applications (UK Guide)

Quantum computing is one of the fastest-evolving fields in technology, blending physics, mathematics, computer science and engineering. Roles in this space — from Quantum Algorithm Developer and Quantum Software Engineer to Quantum Research Scientist and Quantum Hardware Specialist — are highly sought after, and hiring managers are exceptionally selective. Because quantum computing is complex and multidisciplinary, recruiters and hiring managers look for clear, concrete evidence of relevant expertise and impact right at the start of your application. They often decide whether to read your CV in detail within the first 10–20 seconds, based on a handful of high-value signals. This guide breaks down exactly what hiring managers look for first in quantum computing applications, how they assess CVs and portfolios, and what you can do to optimise your application to get noticed in the UK quantum job market.

Riverlane Jobs in Quantum Computing

If you’re looking for Riverlane jobs in quantum computing, you’re aiming at one of the most important layers in the quantum stack: quantum error correction (QEC). In simple terms, Riverlane focuses on the software, methods & tooling that help quantum computers produce reliable results despite noise. That matters because as quantum hardware scales, the ability to correct errors becomes the difference between “interesting experiments” and “useful quantum computing”. This guide is written for UK job seekers who want to understand: what Riverlane does (in job-seeker language) the roles they hire for the skills that map best to their work how to tailor your CV & LinkedIn how to prepare for interviews how to find & land Riverlane vacancies in the UK You do not need to be a quantum PhD to have a realistic pathway in. But you do need to understand the problem they’re solving & position your experience around it.
