Job Description

IBM Services is looking for a Quantum Computational Scientist who will interface with research and algorithm experts to implement quantum approaches, which includes data pre/post-processing, running numerics and visualizing data. Working with quantum industry experts, you will be a key member of a multi-discipline squad focused on building quantum capabilities and researching quantum application development for clients within Financial Services sector industries including banking and financial markets, and insurance.

Responsibilities include:

• Work with IBM Q Start team on active exploratory research engagements to prepare for future use case commercialization within specific industry.
• Interact with client data science teams to explore promising areas for quantum.
• Implement quantum approaches, which includes data pre-/post-processing, running numerics and visualizing data.
• Collaborate with industry and solution-ing experts to design and shape experiments to demonstrate quantum-enabled advantage.
• Contribute best practices related to information architecture, including collection, integration, organization, analysis, and visualization of data for quantum-enabled impact.
• Support practice development initiatives focused on building employee knowledge and skills in specific areas of expertise through coaching and development of training course material.

Introduction

Quantum computers are incredibly powerful machines that take a new approach to processing information. Built on the principles of quantum mechanics, they exploit complex and fascinating laws of nature that are always there, but usually remain hidden from view. By harnessing such natural behavior, quantum computers can run new types of algorithms to process information more holistically. They may one day lead to revolutionary breakthroughs in materials and drug discovery, the optimization of complex man-made systems, and artificial intelligence. We expect them to open doors that we once thought would remain locked indefinitely.

As a Quantum Computational Scientist at IBM, you will help transform our clients’ data into tangible business value by analyzing information, communicating outcomes and collaborating on product development. Work with Best in Class open source and visual tools, along with the most flexible and scalable deployment options. Whether it’s investigating patient trends or weather patterns, you will work to solve real world problems for the industries transforming how we live.
