This role offers a unique opportunity to influence both the design of Eniquantic's quantum processor and the discovery of its most promising use cases.

Main Activities

• Develop and optimize classical simulation frameworks for neutral atoms interacting via Rydberg states.
• Perform large-scale many-body simulations using high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructures.
• Collaborate closely with experimental teams to model and mitigate noise sources in quantum hardware.
• Collaboration with the algorithms team, to help studying potential applications of Eniquantic's quantum processor using classical simulators.
• Monitor and integrate state-of-the-art advances in quantum simulation techniques and HPC methodologies.

Required Features

• Master's degree in Physics, Physics Engineering, Quantum Information Science, Computer Engineering
• At least 3 years (including any PhD) of research or work experience in the classical simulation of quantum systems, preferably involving Rydberg interactions
• Experience with the simulation of noise sources in neutral atoms quantum processors
• Experience with tensor networks and related simulation techniques
• Hands-on experience with HPC environments and parallel computing
• Experience in programming and using GPUs (preferential requirement).
• Excellent programming skills in languages such as Python, C++, Julia or similar
• Excellent knowledge of English
