Develop the world's first Quantum Error Correction stack with a focus on AMO type devices and realistic hardware architectures. Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to optimize QEC protocols, write scientific code, and publish research papers.
Requires a PhD in mathematics, physics, computer science, or a related technical field. Candidates must possess strong problem-solving skills and proficiency in at least one programming language, preferably Python or C++.
Quantum Error Correction Researcher
Cambridge, UK | Full-time or Part-time | Permanent | Hybrid
Salary: £60,000 to £85,000, DOE
The salary range for this role is broad, as we are able to consider varying levels of experience. Any offer made will carefully take into account level of experience (including relevant industry experience), transferable relevant skills and previous relevant achievements.
We will also consider part-time applications for this role. Please indicate your preferred working schedule in your cover letter.
About us
Riverlane’s mission is to master quantum error correction (QEC) and unlock a new age of human progress. From advances in material and climate science, to complex chemistry simulation for new drug design, quantum computers will help humanity solve some of its most important challenges. But without QEC, the industry’s defining technical challenge, such breakthroughs can never be achieved. Riverlane is the world leader in QEC technology. QEC is a complex problem that requires a range of skills, talent and passion.
Having raised more than $125M in funding to date to accelerate our cutting-edge R&D in quantum error correction (QEC), Riverlane partners with many of the world’s leading quantum hardware providers and government agencies to make fault-tolerant quantum computing a reality. We’re making remarkable progress and growing fast.
About the role
As a Quantum Error Correction Researcher at Riverlane, you will help us to develop the world’s first Quantum Error Correction (QEC) stack that will unlock useful quantum computing.
We have a fantastic opportunity to join one of Riverlane’s more science-focused quantum error correction teams, dedicated to understanding fault tolerance on realistic hardware architectures. This highly collaborative group brings together mathematicians, physicists, computer scientists and software engineers, working side by side across the stack: from new code families and fault-tolerant logic, through understanding decoding and noise-aware analysis, to algorithm compilation and architecture design. In this role, you will be part of a small sub-team focused on AMO type devices, where you will work on high-impact research projects, combining hands-on technical work with close collaboration across a wider multidisciplinary team, contributing to research and development across the QEC stack.

Riverlane is the world leader in Quantum Error Correction (QEC), the technology that unlocks quantum computing's promise
The fragility of qubits means today's quantum computers fail under an avalanche of data errors long before they reach utility-scale. Riverlane builds QEC tools and technology that correct quantum errors as quickly as they occur. Using sophisticated codes and decoders on proprietary QEC chips, our technology identifies and corrects errors millions, and ultimately billions, of times per second. We accelerate the quantum ecosystem by working closely with many of the world's leading quantum computer manufacturers, government bodies and high-performance computing (HPC) centres. Together, we're opening a world of new possibilities.
