Day-to-Day Responsibilities
Develop theory for encoding and processing information in qubits, including quantum gates, circuits and protocols.
Design and analyse quantum algorithms and check where they can outperform classical methods.
Model noise and decoherence, and work on quantum error correction to keep stored information reliable.
Run simulations of quantum systems on classical computers and on cloud-accessible quantum hardware.
Work with experimental physicists and engineers to test predictions in the lab.
Write research papers, prepare grant proposals and present findings at conferences.
Review published literature and, in academic roles, supervise master's and PhD students.
