Senior Researcher — Applied Quantum Fault Tolerance

Location: Cologne, Germany

26 Jan 2026

We are seeking an Applied Quantum Fault Tolerance Researcher to strengthen our efforts in bridging fault-tolerant theory with experimental realities. In this role, you will focus on circuit-level design, simulation, and optimization of fault-tolerant protocols under realistic noise models. Your work may include developing/applying noise simulation techniques, designing fault-tolerant circuitry tailored to near-term hardware constraints such as few-qubit or measurement-free architectures, and evaluating trade-offs between different implementations at the circuit level. A key aspect of the role may be integrating these approaches into modular architectures and ensuring compatibility with logical-qubit algorithms, with the aim of making error-corrected quantum computation practically feasible.

Visiting Researcher — Quantum Error Correction

Location: Cologne, Germany

26 Jan 2026

We invite experienced researchers in quantum computing to join us as Visiting Researchers for focused, short-term collaborations aimed at advancing our work in fault-tolerant quantum computing. This opportunity is designed for scientists who wish to contribute intensively to a defined project over a limited residency period. You will work alongside our core research team on topics such as quantum algorithms, error correction, and co-designing scalable architectures across leading platforms (e.g., trapped ions, superconducting qubits, neutral atoms). The position is time-limited and outcome-driven — suited for accomplished individuals who can rapidly engage with complex research challenges and deliver tangible results in a condensed timeframe. The appointment is fully funded.
