Senior Quantum AI Research Scientist, Applied Research

NVIDIA is a leading technology company focused on accelerated computing and is looking for a passionate AI research scientist with deep quantum computing expertise. The role involves architecting and building AI solutions for fault-tolerant quantum computing, researching open AI models, and collaborating with multi-functional teams to integrate AI into advanced quantum systems.

Responsibilities:

• Design and architect AI/ML models—including deep neural networks, graph neural networks, transformers, and reinforcement-learning agents—for quantum error correction, syndrome decoding, logical operation synthesis, and real-time calibration in fault-tolerant quantum systems
• Develop cutting-edge AI techniques for quantum computing that contribute to NVIDIA's open model efforts across the quantum ecosystem
• Help create high-quality, large-scale datasets for quantum error correction and quantum system characterization, including simulated and hardware-derived syndrome data, enabling the community to train and evaluate AI models at scale
• Collaborate with quantum hardware teams to collect and structure hardware-derived training data, enabling domain-adapted models that improve over time as hardware matures
• Co-design AI solutions with quantum hardware and software teams, ensuring decoders and calibration models meet latency and throughput requirements for real-time operation inside fault-tolerant feedback loops
• Communicate research findings through top-tier venues and collaborate with academic and industry partners to advance the field, while championing a culture of rapid innovation, technical depth, and creative problem solving
