VTT is now looking for a Research Scientist to join its Quantum Algorithms and Software team
As a scientist at VTT, you can make an impact on our customers and society. VTT researchers work closely together with industry, often in interdisciplinary research groups. VTT has excellent research infrastructure and internal services to support your research work.
With a strong background in quantum computing, you will have an essential role in developing and carrying out research on quantum error correction. You are expected to identify and solve problems independently and creatively, while working closely and flexibly with a team of experts.
Your focus will be on the development of error correction codes, on designing and integrating quantum error correction experiments to be executed on VTT quantum computers.
The team develops quantum algorithms and operates VTT superconducting qubit quantum computers. Currently, VTT hosts two devices with 5 and 53 qubits, and has signed a joint development project with IQM which will deliver a 150-qubit superconducting quantum computer in mid-2026 and a 300-qubit one in late 2027. We are active in the development of quantum algorithms for real-world problems, quantum error mitigation techniques, benchmark protocols for current quantum computers, and quantum software infrastructure.
