Job description We are seeking a Senior Research Fellow at Amritapuri Campus who will contribute to advanced research and software development in Quantum Error Correction (QEC), Quantum Error Mitigation (QEM), and fault-tolerant quantum computing. Key Responsibilities

Responsibilities

• Develop and evaluate advanced quantum error correction and error mitigation techniques.
• Implement stabilizer, surface, and other relevant quantum error-correcting codes.
• Develop syndrome extraction, decoding, and logical error-rate evaluation pipelines.
• Develop and analyse physical noise models relevant to quantum computing hardware.
• Work with Stim, PyMatching, Qiskit-Aer, Qiskit, and related quantum computing toolchains.
• Benchmark different decoding approaches based on accuracy, logical error rate, execution time, and computational overhead.
• Investigate hardware-aware QEC approaches considering realistic noise characteristics and quantum circuit topologies.
• Develop software modules for automated quantum circuit simulation, error injection, syndrome generation, decoding, and performance analysis.
• Study and implement approaches for adaptive error mitigation and predictive noise modelling.
• Support integration of QEC/QEM modules into a modular quantum software toolchain.
• Conduct independent literature reviews and formulate research problems and experimental methodologies.
• Lead the development of research prototypes and contribute to project milestones and technical deliverables.
• Prepare research publications, technical reports, presentations, and project documentation.
• Guide and support JRFs and other junior project members in QEC-related implementation and experimentation.
• Collaborate with researchers working on quantum software, quantum hardware, AI-assisted decoding, and fault-tolerant quantum computing.
