Quantum Architectures and Computation (QuArC)

Quantum Architectures and Computation Group (QuArC)

The Quantum Architectures and Computation group is a team of leading quantum computer scientists and engineers dedicated to developing real-world quantum algorithms, understanding their implications, and designing a comprehensive software architecture for programming such algorithms on a scalable, fault-tolerant, quantum computer. Our mission is to advance our understanding of quantum computing and its applications and implementation.

The QuArC group collaborates closely with Microsoft Research Station Q in Santa Barbara and several universities worldwide.

We're looking for exceptional people! The QuArC group is looking for exceptional candidates for post-doc positions. We're also looking for talented undergraduate or graduate students for 12-week internships. Interested candidates should send their CV to ksvore AT microsoft DOT com.
