Senior Quantum Computing Scientist Before you apply -Don't miss out on the jobs you're really looking for.

You will work with academics, supervising and steering collaborative work to develop those algorithms on both simulators and advanced hardware platforms. There is the potential for travel opportunities for collaboration and to attend conferences. You will also engage with application teams such as nuclear and electron physics, material properties, fluid dynamics or other areas of solving PDEs to understand requirements and facilitate future adoption of the algorithms. You will be responsible for assessing where and when (if at all) to adopt new quantum algorithms using relevant techniques evaluating quantum advantage. Working with the Quantum Technology (QT) teams you will champion and articulate the benefits of new QC to our applications teams leading their adoption. This is an exciting opportunity to participate and shape the growing Quantum Capability at AWE.
