Senior Researcher Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing

Location: Cologne, Germany

31 Mar 2026

We are seeking Senior Researchers in Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing to contribute to the development of key components of the fault-tolerant stack. These roles focus on decoders and quantum algorithms at the logical level, addressing how quantum information can be processed reliably in large-scale, error-corrected systems. The positions involve developing and analyzing decoding strategies under realistic noise models, as well as designing and evaluating quantum algorithms within fault-tolerant architectures, including resource estimation and logical-level optimization. The emphasis is on rigorous, hands-on research that advances the performance, scalability, and understanding of error-corrected quantum computation. A central aspect of the role is contributing to the integration of these methods into modular fault-tolerant architectures, ensuring consistency between algorithmic, decoding, and system-level considerations.
