🚀 Applications are open for our Graduate Scheme & Internships! 🎓 All roles offer you the opportunity to work on real problems with a multidisciplinary team developing the QEC Stack – a critical component to advance quantum computing. 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 We’re based in Cambridge UK and USA and are looking for graduates (students in their final year or 2024 graduates), summer interns (current students in your 2nd+ degree year) AND PhD interns (those currently pursuing a PhD) across multiple STEM disciplines. Our previous interns and graduates have published scientific papers, presented at global conferences – and also benefitted from Riverlane’s generous annual leave, private medical insurance, and many other benefits, including free snacks and onsite yoga! 🍏 ☕ 🧘 But what will *you* do? We’re offering intern and graduates opportunities across... 1️⃣ Engineering: you’ll create cutting-edge software, gain experience across the development and product lifecycles, and test complex products operating at the cutting edge of tech. (Open to graduates and summer interns in Cambridge, UK 🇬🇧) 2️⃣ Quantum computing*: you’ll develop an understanding of the quantum algorithms, industrial applications and QEC technologies required to unlock large-scale quantum computing. Then, we want you to take this knowledge and write your own algorithms and software, contributing to a core project at Riverlane to help advance quantum computers. (Summer and PhD internships are available in both Cambridge, UK 🇬🇧 and USA 🇺🇸 ) * don’t worry, we’re not looking for ANY experience in quantum computing. You just need to be a critical thinker who likes difficult problems. ⏰ Applications close on Friday 29th November 2024 ⏰ Find out more here: https://lnkd.in/e-r--t_w #quantumcomputingjobs | #STEMinternships | #STEMCareers | #GraduateOpportunities 

🤔What’s the best quantum error correction code? We don’t know. Yet. Multiple QEC codes are under development, representing the different ways to encode quantum information over physical qubits to protect the information from errors. The QEC code debate remains wide open. Although research into qLDPC codes is growing, the surface code remains dominant. Find out more about the leading QEC research trends by signing up to receive The Quantum Error Correction Report 2024 – coming soon in late October.

Why does the world’s first low-latency quantum error correction (QEC) experiment matter? Our VP Quantum Science, Earl Campbell, explains all in this technical update, including how our work complements Google’s recent QEC paper: https://lnkd.in/e8sf4bTi ⏱️ The team demonstrated low-latency feedback with a scalable FPGA decoder integrated into the control system of one of Rigetti Computing’s superconducting quantum processors. 🚪There’s still a long way to go, but this paper opens the door to the next generation of quantum experiments that go beyond purely keeping logical qubits alive and into demonstrating building blocks of fault-tolerant computation, such as lattice surgery and magic state teleportation. #quantumcomputing #quantumerrorcorrection 

How do you build the product to unlock quantum computing’s potential?   Our VP Product & Partnerships Maria Maragkou speaks to Ravi Sundaram about Riverlane’s core product, Deltaflow, discussing: 🙂 The role of the product managers and their teams (Spoiler: collaboration between our BD and product teams is critical) ❓ How to define success and manage performance ⚖️ Balancing innovation and business milestones  🤹♂️ The skills required to work as a PM in deeptech – including how to motivate and retain your teams 1️⃣ And the one thing Maria would change if she started over (No spoilers: you’ll have to listen!)   Listen now 🎧 👇 https://lnkd.in/edpV8whc

After five years as COO at Riverlane, I've learned first-hand how difficult it is to increase gender diversity in deep tech.     Despite the well-documented benefits of diverse teams – better decision-making, faster problem-solving, and improved profitability – recruiting and retaining women in quantum computing remains a tough nut to crack.     In my latest article, I reflect on how we've tackled this at Riverlane as we've scaled from seed stage to Series C. From early-career programs and unconscious bias training to hosting our first week-long quantum computing workshop for women, we've tested various initiatives.     While there’s no one-size-fits-all solution, I hope this article offers practical steps that other deep tech leaders can adopt – regardless of where you are in your start-up journey. 

🤔 Did you know qubits have a ‘soft side’?   With our collaborators at Delft University of Technology, we demonstrated the positive impact of using all the data (both hard and soft) coming from a qubit to enhance quantum error correction.   🔟 Typically, quantum decoders rely only on ‘hard’ digitised measurement outcomes – 0s and 1s – and ignore the valuable information embedded in the analogue ‘soft’ measurement signal.   This information provides insight into the likelihood of a measurement error having occurred and thus can be used by the quantum decoder to improve its performance.    🤝Using Delft’s 17-qubit superconducting quantum computer, we saw an improvement in the extracted logical error rate, a measure of the error correction performance, with the use of soft information.   While this improvement is limited at the moment, as quantum computers scale then the benefits of using soft information will become more pronounced, especially as we move from memory experiments to logical operations.   🖇 Check out the paper, now available in Physical Review Applied: https://lnkd.in/ey2UC4Mu And a previous blog post from the team also explains the implications of this paper for QEC: https://lnkd.in/ehQ_akxz   #quantumcomputing | #quantumerrorcorrection

⚪️ Different qubit types have different strengths and weaknesses. Some have fast response times but operate at near 0K temperatures. Others have unmatched stability and high gate fidelities but long gate operation times, and some have limited connectivity.    📈 One universal factor is that every qubit type has increased in number and improved on error rates over the last two decades, approaching a ‘practical QEC threshold’ of around 99.9% fidelity (i.e. an error rate of 10^-3) for two-qubit gates. ‘The system size and gate fidelities are just now crossing the threshold required for error correction... the interesting phase for quantum computing is just starting.’ – Jan Goetz, co-CEO and co-Founder at IQM Quantum Computers.  You can find out more about 'the three nines' and recent progress towards useful quantum computing by signing up to receive The Quantum Error Correction Report 2024: https://lnkd.in/eDMutzbB  ( 🔜 Due for release in late October!)   #quantumcomputing | #QEC | #quantumerrorcorrection | #TheQECReport2024
