Approaching Hard Problems With Algorithms For Quantum Computers

About Us

The main goal of Beit is to design and implement an algorithm for solving an all relevant NP-complete class of problems using Quantum Computers effectively, i.e. getting speedups better than quadratic, guaranteed by theory. We focus on Hamiltonian cycle problem, but since there are known reductions between different problems inside NP-complete class, we may say, that we are working on all of them at the same time. NP-complete problems are abstractions relevant for many real world problems encountered in logistics, manufacturing and warehousing at scale.

Łukasz is a passion driven developer. Before BEIT he worked for Corvil, Credit Suisse, JP Morgan, Sabre and Aldec. He is always willing to write some fancy code, taking care of it’s quality serves as our Quality Manager for engineering team. Being creative, with linguistic like sense of humor, introduced more diversity. The first non ex-Googler onboard, he is not afraid of sharing best practices and experience from past employments, question our attitude, introducing new order not only to our code, but also company management.

Marcin has joined BEIT in the summer of 2018, initially just for the summer internship, but decided to continue working with us. He is currently studying Theoretical Computer Science and Theoretical Mathematics at Jagiellonian University. His tasks at BEIT range from implementing our algorithms or prove they can't work (any better). His interests focus around Combinatorics, in particular Structural Graph Theory and Computability Theory.

Career

When working with us you can get a project in a very early phase of development where you can have a huge impact on it. There is also a chance to learn and work with quantum computers with a friendly team of IT experts in a startup atmosphere.

Job description

As the expert in quantum measurements at the nanoscale you will be responsible for the design of measurement methods for minimizing the “bit flip” error as well as the construction and simulation of detectors measuring single quanta. Based on this, you’ll work on the integration of specific detectors for quantum computing architectures.

Job description

You will be actively involved in industrial research and development works, especially the development of simulation technologies and their practical implementations within the prototypes as well as software architecture development.

Job description

You will be responsible for developing effective methods of a quantum computer and the algorithm simulations on the cluster servers. This role is crucial for the project implementation due to the large computational complexity of algorithms even before their implementation on hardware platforms.

Job description

Physicists and electronics engineers, experts in the field of quantum computing and optical detectors. You will be responsible for the algorithm integration within existing quantum computers and working directly with companies and universities to implement the algorithm targeted
