Role Overview
As a Quantum Information Scientist on our team, you’ll drive the theoretical and practical exploration of quantum-secure holographic cryptography. You’ll work on how our technology incorporates quantum mechanics, entanglement, and our proprietary holographic cryptography to enhance our future-proof security systems.
Your role will be deeply interdisciplinary—bridging quantum physics, quantum optics, and cryptographic models in novel storage and identity systems.
What You'll Do
-
Design and analyze quantum-resilient encoding schemes for holographic media;
-
Research applications of the holographic principle in information theory and entropy modeling;
-
Explore quantum holography and photon-based key distribution mechanisms (e.g. QKD);
-
Collaborate with optical and cryptographic teams to build quantum-aware secure systems;
-
Simulate quantum optical systems and noise models for feasibility analysis;
-
Publish whitepapers, present findings at conferences, and support patent development
What You Have
-
A PhD in Quantum Information Science, Physics, or Quantum Computing;
-
Solid understanding of quantum key distribution (QKD), entanglement, and Bell inequalities;
-
Experience with quantum circuit design tools (e.g. Qiskit, QuTiP, Cirq)
-
Knowledge of information-theoretic security, entropy bounds, and quantum channels
-
Ability to model and simulate quantum systems, including decoherence and noise
-
Strong mathematical background in linear algebra, probability, and quantum mechanics;
Bonus Points:
-
Experience with experimental quantum optics or integrated photonics;
-
Understanding of the AdS/CFT correspondence or holographic entropy in theoretical physics
