Descrizione:

Planckian is developing the core technology to power utility‑scale quantum computers.

By design, our chip architecture decouples control lines from qubit count, removing a key bottleneck in scaling. It combines the proven reliability of superconducting circuits with a breakthrough approach to qubit control, paving the way for quantum computers capable of solving the world’s most challenging problems.

We are seeking a Quantum Scientist to join our Architectures team.

What You’ll be doing

  • Contribute to the design and development of novel QPU architectures based on superconducting qubits, focusing on globally driven control schemes;
  • Model quantum system dynamics; develop gate‑level and pulse‑level models for entangling operations on QPUs;
  • Conduct dynamic simulations using QuTiP or equivalent frameworks;
  • Perform noise characterization and numerical analysis to predict device behavior and support experimental calibration and optimization;
  • Collaborate with the Hardware team pod to ensure simulation assumptions match physical device constraints and support QPU calibration methodology and Hamiltonian learning;
  • Contribute to the development, maintenance, and improvement of Planckian’s proprietary compilation platform.

Requirements

  • PhD in Physics or related subject;
  • Deep understanding of solid‑state hardware platforms for quantum technologies (superconducting circuits, semiconductors);
  • Advanced knowledge of quantum computation and quantum information;
  • Programming skills, in particular Python

Every job has its challenges, and this one is no exception. While many companies gloss over them, we believe in being upfront:

  • You’ll face tough situations, especially the classic challenge: people problems. Navigating human dynamics can be tricky and requires patience and empathy;
  • Some work is unglamorous, but building a great company means rolling up your sleeves. From strategic decisions to hands‑on grunt work, everyone contributes to the heavy lifting.

We’re not looking for perfection; we’re looking for people who are ready to grow through the hard parts and help us build something that lasts.

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary + benefits;
  • Stock options;
  • Flexible working hours with hybrid working;
  • Ego‑free, merit‑based environment.

Planckian is an equal‑opportunity employer.
