Overview

Quantum Algorithm Developer – Hamiltonian Simulation

Parity Quantum Computing GmbH

(Hamburg, Full time, m/w/x)

What we do

At ParityQC we are at the forefront of this growing industry. As the first quantum architecture company, we design the blueprints and software for solving optimization problems on quantum computers. We are lucky enough to collaborate with world-leading organizations, making ground-breaking discoveries together.

We've developed a fundamentally new way of solving industry-relevant problems on quantum computers. We create blueprints for quantum computers and the associated operating system - ParityOS.

About the job

As a Quantum Algorithm Developer for Hamiltonian simulations, you will explore classically intractable dynamical processes in physical systems. Quantum computers open a path to address these challenges, and you will design novel Hamiltonian-simulation algorithms across all layers of the quantum computing stack. By leveraging and advancing the ParityQC Architecture, you will help move quantum computing toward practical, near-term and early fault-tolerant applications.

You will join a collaborative research team where strong physics expertise matters more than prior quantum-computing experience. If you bring deep physical intuition and curiosity, we will give you the space and support to grow into the quantum-algorithm domain.

Skills & Experience

PhD in quantum physics or theoretical physics
Strong background in one or more of the following:

Quantum statistical mechanics
Quantum field theory or lattice models

Ability to translate physical models into Hamiltonian formulations
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
High degree of creativity and scientific curiosity
Ability to work independently and proactively
Fluency in English

Preferred Experience

Proven experience in modelling quantum systems or quantum information processes
Familiarity with quantum-simulation frameworks (e.g., QuTiP, Qiskit, PennyLane)
Exposure to quantum algorithms or quantum-computing concepts (e.g., Trotterisation, variational methods)
Experience implementing and validating numerical simulations of quantum dynamics

What we offer

We are a spinoff working in one of the most exciting emerging technology fields. There are no long-time proven concepts on what we are doing – we need to invent everything from scratch, and we are therefore able to shape a whole new generation of computing. We are pioneers in this field and develop the blueprints for the upcoming generations.
