By joining Rolls-Royce, you'll have the opportunity to work on world-class solutions, supported by a culture that believes individuality is our greatest strength, and all perspectives, experiences and backgrounds help us innovate and enable our high-performance culture. An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Quantum Computing Specialist to join the Future Technology team within the Rolls-Royce R&T organisation based in Derby. The role will lead Quantum Computing activities including developing applications and algorithms for Fault Tolerant Quantum Computers, hybrid quantum-classical workflows, classical circuit simulation using High Performance Computers. Application areas include Quantum Linear Equation Solvers, state and matrix loading, block encoding, measurement observables and state reconstruction including machine learning and data science. The team aims to radically transform RR Engineering methods and software, applying these to emerging novel products & services. The potential of quantum computing to disrupt the way businesses design their products will only be possible with robust engineering applications.

For Quantum Linear Equation Solvers, this will build on our existing expertise in Quantum Singular Value Transformation and extend into new areas such as solving time-dependent PDEs and circuit contraction using tensor networks. We expect there to be many crossovers in the algorithms being developed and for the two roles to work closely together and with the rest of the team. Both will involve hybrid classical-quantum algorithms and the use of high-performance computers for larger test cases. This will include a propensity to influence RR to adopt these methods and support their wider commercialisation as appropriate. As such, the role offers the opportunity to work with a broad and complex stakeholder community, both internal and external. You may also take part in technology horizon scanning and identify and assess emerging computation technologies. Preferred requirements: Essential A degree in Physics, Mathematics or equivalent qualification. A sound understanding of quantum information and postgraduate experience in computational science, or a strong experience using classical linear algebra. Experience using and implementing quantum computing algorithms including development with one or more development environments; PennyLane, QuEST, or similar.
